  <body>
    <p>So I found Adobe's media release [1] from yesterday (GAAD, May
      18) that sparked the Forbes and other article (links at end of
      emal).</p>
    <p>Adobe has a page in their Developer documentation area [2] with
      more info.<br>
    </p>
    <p>They have a free demo [3] (requires login) where you can test it
      out.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I think that what Adobe are announcing is the new API aimed at
      developers, not just a new iteration of the Auto-Tag feature that
      has been built into Adobe Acrobat Pro for many years. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Adobe seems to be suggesting that this API is partially driven by
      their so-called "AI" branded as "Sensei". It is not clear to me
      that the AutoTag feature in Acrobat Pro runs  the exact same code
      as that in their (new?) API. Leaving aside the misleading
      marketing language around the phrase "artificial intelligence", I
      have the impression that Acrobat Pro's AutoTag feature depends
      entirely on code run locally on your computer, whereas the AutoTag
      API will run somewhere in Adobe's Cloud. Maybe the results will be
      similar. Who knows.</p>
    <p>Is that different than the AutoTag in the "new Acrobat" that
      you're talking about Bevi?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Like Bevi and Susan, I find the AutoTag feature currently
      included in Adobe Acrobat Pro to be mediocre. Though I often still
      use it as a starting point when I am remediating files. <br>
    </p>
    <p>But I can see a value in having an API that developers can
      incorporate into their own PDF generation processes or when trying
      to automate large-scale remediation efforts on collections of
      files. There are already some other document accessibility
      companies that offer automated solutions for remediation of PDF
      files in bulk, I think, so I expect this signals that Adobe has
      decided to enter into this business market more aggressively.</p>
    <p>There are two other items worth noting that appear towards the
      end of Adobe's press release. This fall, they plan to release a
      stand-alone PDF accessibility checker and they plan to include the
      AutoTag feature in the free Adobe Reader instead of it requiring
      the purchase of the expensive and overpriced Adobe Acrobat Pro.
      I'll be curious if the accessibility checker will be a new product
      that checks against a full set of WCAG or PDF/UA criteria to
      compete with offerings from CommonLook and PAC, or if it will
      simply be a stand-alone version of the rudimentary Accessibility
      Check feature currently built into Adobe Acrobat Pro. <br>
