Automatically producing accessible and reusable PDFs with LATEX
Abstract
In this application note we outline the goals of the "LATEX Tagged PDF" project, describe its current status, show how it can already now been used to create accessible and reusable PDFs, and outline our future plans for a successful completion. Further information can be found at https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/.

The LaTeX Tagged PDF project supports automatic generation of accessible PDFs for only a subset of LaTeX documents that import packages from a small pre-defined list.
“However, even fi ve years after its initiation, recent updates note that the project supports automatic generation of accessible PDFs for only a subset of LaTeX documents that import packages from a small pre-defined list [18, 19].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
