Using the Acrobat Pro DC Accessibility Checker

The accessibility checking tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC — Accessibility Checker (Full Check) and the Make Accessible action wizard — can identify many issues in PDF documents that may be in conflict with Adobe’s interpretations of the accessibility guidelines referenced in the application and its documentation. These tools do not check documents for all accessibility criteria, including those in such referenced guidelines, and Adobe does not warrant that documents comply with any specific guidelines or regulations.

The Using the Acrobat Pro DC Accessibility Checker guide describes the PDF accessibility checkers that are included in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Even if you generate an accessible PDF file from an authoring application such a word processor or desktop publishing program, you should then follow the steps in this guide in order to identify any items that may have been missed in the initial conversion, or to add PDF accessibility features that were not provided by the authoring tool.
