My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.1.1, Windows
What application is providing your output PDF? If this application has Acrobat PDFMaker support, is PDFMaker being used? Unfortunately, many report generating applications/processes lack full tagged output PDF support.
Authoring applications that support tagged output PDFs typically provide the language when working with Acrobat 9 Professional.
For instance, MS Word 2007 provides the language. (Observed in the Document Properties dialog's Advanced tab ("Language" is the bottom entry)).
Using the PDFMaker associated with Acrobat 9 Professional Extended (and presumably the PDFMaker provided by Acrobat 9.x Standard and Professional) with MS Word 2007 results in the Language value being placed in the output PDF’s Language field under the Advanced tab in the Document Properties regardless of what combinations are selected/de-selected for “Enable Accessibility & Reflow with Tagged Adobe PDF” and “Enable Advanced Tagging”.If the Microsoft Office Save As PDF or XPS is used and, via the Options button, Document structure tags for accessibility is selected the output PDF's language is set as well.
Similarly, use of FrameMaker for tagged output PDF provides the language. I believe that InDesign will behave the same.
For those applications,used to output PDFs, that do not provide full support for tagged output PDFs (such as providing the native language) a Preflight profile, run by a Batch Sequence can be used to set the language. The Batch Sequence can process one or many PDF files. Use of this would have to be factored into the production workflow.
