I have not used it to that extent as we aren't creating tagged PDF's in any
way here on this campus, yet.  I have used it to export documents that
needed to be PDF's for their own protection, or as layout types for
printing, and it works really well in that way.  I have not drilled any
further into it than that.

On the other hand, Word's pdf plugin does NOT do tagged PDF very well.
