I build tagged PDF's using Framemaker and do not find them as difficult to do as you seem to but I am glad that you got it working. They really are excellent tagged documents with very good intelligence.

Acrobat pro can add tagging to documents after the fact and it usually does a pretty good job. It does better if it has the source.

For free, if you have a PDA that uses ActiveSync on XP (Sorry ActiveSync is not supported on Vista) you can just drag a PDF to the device window. It will be automatically tagged as part of the process. Dragging it back will give you a distributable tagged document. This tagging isn't quite a smart at the two earlier methods but workable.

For more on tagging see the PDF article in the wiki. Note, by the way, that a few PDF readers such as Digital Editions do not need pretagged documents in order to reflow them.
