Differences
Well tagged PDF:
The 'TOCI' element in Well-Tagged PDF is an interactive Table of Contents that not only lists document sections but also provides clickable links for navigation.
It should be fully integrated into the structure tree with active, clearly defined links that allow for dynamic navigation and content reflow.
PDFUA:
In PDF/UA, the 'TOCI' element ensures that the interactive table of contents is accessible. It must support keyboard navigation and be fully tagged so that assistive technologies can activate the links.
Interactive TOC entries must include descriptive labels and proper associations to the corresponding sections, ensuring a seamless navigational experience for users with disabilities.
