Although the Accessibility Checker provides a thorough overview of document accessibility, there are still some elements that require human eyes for verification.  It is important to manually check if:

  • the heading levels are in a logical order.
  • the document has a logical reading order. 
  • there is enough color contrast between the text color and background color. 
  • the intended table rows or columns are designated headers .
  • alternative text is described in a meaningful way.
  • the links are descriptive. 

The Accessibility Checker is intended to provide a basic assessment of the PDF document and is not reflective of a full and complete accessibility analysis. It is an automated tool and, as such, can only test a handful of the accessibility standards.
