Hello Everyone,

I want to add tags to existing PDF with notepad, and then implement this with MFC by the I/O ofstream via text-mode. I want to know specific principles rather than using
Adobe Acrobat or other PDF tools. I want to tag the PDF by myself!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You cannot do this, since PDF files are not simple streams, but have a specific table based structure. You can use one of the third-party libraries such as iTextSharp[^], or get the document specification from Adobe and write your own.
