Step 6: Run Accessibility Checker-2

Accessibility Checker located under Accessibility Option

The Accessibility Checker provides an accessibility assessment and helps you determine how easily people with disabilities can access your PDF. The Accessibility Checker (Full Check) helps to determine the presence of:

  • alternative text on images
  • tags
  • table headers
  • document language
 

Accessibility Checker Panel

 

Once a report is executed, the issues that have been found are displayed in the Accessibility Checker panel. The results tree displays one of the following states for each rule check.

  • Passed: The item passed this accessible check.
  • Passed Manually: The item was marked passed by a manual inspection.
  • Skipped By User: The rule was not selected in the Accessibility Checker Options dialog box.
  • Needs Manual Check: The Full Check feature could not check the item automatically. Verify the item manually.
  • Failed: The item did not pass the accessibility check.

The Accessibility Checker will be thoroughly discussed in the next module.
