I have a two page Acroform (Acrobat Pro 9.3.3) which has a continuation button on the first page. When the continuation button is pressed, a continuation page is spawned, and placed between the two pages.
I created the continuation page as a separate Acroform and tagged it for JAWS. I then inserted it into my document, and made it a template. When I hid the template, all the tags disappeared. And when I clicked my continuation button to add it as a page, the page was added, but no tags reappeared.
To clarify, here are the steps I took:
1. Created properly tagged two page Acroform.
2. Inserted properly tagged one page Acroform, to act as a continuation page. I inserted it between the two pages, but the tags were placed at the end of the tag panel. I moved them into the correct place.
3. I made the inserted page a template. The tags were still OK.
4. I hid the template. The templates tags disappeared.
5. When I added a page, as my users will do, no tags were added, so this page is not readable by JAWS.
Does this mean that it is not possible to spawn a page from a template which can be tagged and readable in JAWS?
Thanks,

Conversely, deletion of PDF page content does not delete the associated tagged content from the "host" PDF. This is because the structure tree content is separate from PDF page content.
I suspect something similar to (or perhaps the action itself) PDF Optimizer's Discard Objects > Discard document tags occurs when a page template is hidden.Be well...
