    Yeah afterward if you want to do anything to it, you have to print to PDF and then tag everything manually, and it's not the legally signed version anymore.

    Thanks for the video tutorial! Just a question - you are using short cuts on your keyboard but I'm not quite sure how you're selecting and moving the tags in new positions. You're oviously selecting and then up and down and then putting in place. Love to know what those keyboard short cuts are for mac espeically. Cheers

    • @TheAccessibilityGuy
      @TheAccessibilityGuy 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's a great question. I simply am using, cut and paste. The main trick that you're seeing in the video is that if you have a tag selected while you are pasting, it will paste it directly underneath that tag. So I pretty much just use my arrow keys and a combination of cut and paste to quickly move tags. You can also hold your control key on PC to select multiple tags at once.
