Checking the accessibility of PDFs
About accessibility checkers
The best way to test the accessibility of a document is to attempt to use the document with the tools that your readers
will use. However, if you don’t have a screen reader or braille printer, use a method provided by Acrobat to check PDF
accessibility.
•
Use Quick Check to check for document structure tags, searchable text, and appropriate security settings for
accessibility. This method is often the best way to check for accessibility before attempting to use a PDF.
•
Use Full Check to check the characteristics of accessible PDFs, such as the use of fonts that can be mapped reliably
to Unicode text.
•
Use Reflow view to quickly check the reading order.
•
Use Read Out Loud to experience the document as it will be experienced by readers who use the text-to-speech
conversion tool.
•
Save the document as accessible text and then read the saved text file in a word-processing application. This exercise
enables you to emulate the end-user experience of readers who use a braille printer to read the document.
•
Use the TouchUp Reading Order tool, Tags tab, and Content tab to examine the structure, reading order, and
contents of a PDF in detail.
Note:
The accessibility checker tools can help identify areas of documents that may be in conflict with the Adobe
interpretation of the accessibility guidelines. These guidelines may be referenced in the application and its
documentation. However, these tools don’t check documents against all accessibility criteria, including those in the
referenced guidelines. In addition, Adobe doesn’t warrant that documents comply with any specific guidelines or
regulations.
