My dviout keeps jumping exactly to the page in front of the current page, which really sucks when often jumping from latex to dviout.

I am looking into being able to add tags to my pdf so that I can reflow it on ebook readers. I have articles in latex that I use pdflatex to turn into pdfs. I looked at the pdfpages article that you linked to and the pdfpages package documentation. Neither of them directly show how to add reflow tags to a pdf that pdflatex creates. Could you show exactly how to do this? Thanks, Chris Hi. I am looking into being able to add tags to my pdf so that I can reflow it on ebook readers.
