 * Tagged PDF starter:

 * Create document with structure information for reflow and accessibility

 *

 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 7.0.3

 * The basic code also works with PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 7.0.0-7.0.2, but these

 * versions require the "lang" option in begin_document() or end_document().

 * Required data: none
