### 3.1.1 Enabling Accessibility Tags in PDF Documents

Toggle accessibility tags for PDF documents with the `APEX_UTIL.SET_PREFERENCE` procedure.

Creating an accessible PDF enables the document to be read aloud by a screen reader and other text-to-speech tools and increases the PDF file size. Setting the `p_preference` parameter `APEX_PDF_ACCESSIBLE` to `Y` adds accessibility tags for native PDF printing. Alternately, setting `APEX_PDF_ACCESSIBLE` to `N` disables accessibility tags. This preference is set automatically when the Include Accessibility Tags switch is enabled in the download dialog of an interactive report or interactive grid.
