Content Tab Options
In the Content tab, use the Options menu or right-click an object to choose from the following options:
• New Container . Adds a new container object at the end of the selected page or container.
• Edit Container Dictionary . Specifies the dictionary for the container. Errors in this
dialog box may damage the PDF. Available only for containers that include dictionaries.
• Cut . Cuts and copies the selected object (not the related page content).
• Paste . Pastes content directly below the selected object at the same hierarchical level.
• Paste Child . Pastes content into the selected object as a child content item.
• Delete . Removes the object (not the related page content) from the document.
• Find Content From Selection . Searches for the object in the Content tab that contains
the object selected in the document pane.
• Find . Searches for unmarked (untagged) artifacts, content, comments, and links. Options
allow you to search the page or document, and to add tags to found items.
• Create Artifact . Defines selected objects as artifacts. Artifacts are not read by a screen
reader or by the Read Out Loud feature. Page numbers, headers, and footers are often best
tagged as artifacts.
• Remove Artifact . Removes the artifact definition from the selected object.
• Highlight Content . When selected, highlights appear in the document pane around
content that relates to a selected object in the Content tab.
• Show Metadata . Allows viewing and editing of image or object metadata.

Order Panel
You can change the reading order of the highlighted regions by moving an item in the Order tab or by
dragging it on the page in the document pane. By reordering highlighted regions on the page, you can make
a figure and caption read at the specific point that they are referenced in the text. By changing the order of a
highlighted region, you effectively change the reading order of that item without changing the actual
appearance of the PDF.
To select the Order Panel, do one of the following:
• Select the TouchUp Reading Order tool. In the TouchUp Reading Order dialog box, click Show
Order Panel.
• From the Acrobat menu select View > Navigation Panels > Order (ALT + VNO)
The Order Panel may open in the document viewing area. It may be part of a panel group that also includes
the Content Panel and the Tags Panel. You can drag the individual panel and dock it in the Navigation pane.
You can also use a menu command to dock all panels in the Navigation Pane:
• View > Navigation Panels > Dock All Panels (ALT + VNK)
To change the order of content using the Order Panel:
• In the Order panel, navigate to view a list of highlighted regions that appear in the document pane.
In the Order tab, drag the tag for a highlighted region to the location you want. As you drag, a line
appears to show potential locations. After you drag an item to a new location, the highlighted
regions are renumbered to show the new reading order. You can select and move multiple, adjacent
regions.
