Hi Alexandre,

Your tagged PDF seems fine.  The problem is that you're merging a tagged 
and untagged PDF.

In your appendPDF() method, you now use:
target.addPage(target.getImportedPage(source, i, true));

This is okay for the tagged PDF, but for the untagged it will try to 
preserve the structure which is not there.  A simple fix:
target.addPage(target.getImportedPage(source, i, source.isTagged()));


Alternatively, you can replace your appendPDF() method with 
PdfCopy.addDocument().  This method detects if the document is tagged or 
not.  In your code:
newPDF.addDocument(basePDF);
newPDF.addDocument(legendInformation);


Also, make sure you are creating tagged output.  In your code:
newPDF.setTagged();


Best regards,

Raf Hens
