Name The set of accessibility criteria to check. For the Section 508 and W3C guidelines, the options area includes a
Browse button that links to the website for the respective guidelines. Select Adobe PDF to choose from options for
the Adobe PDF accessibility standard:
• Alternative Descriptions Are Provided Checks for tagged figures that are missing alternate text.
• Text Language Is Specified Checks for paragraphs that don’t have a language specified for them. Setting the
language for an entire document in the Document Properties dialog box corrects all errors related to this option.
• Reliable Character Encoding Is Provided Checks for fonts that are inaccessible to screen readers and other
assistive software. Fonts must contain enough information for Acrobat to correctly extract all the characters to text.
If one or more fonts don’t allow for the correct extraction of all the characters, the PDF is inaccessible.
• All Content Is Contained In The Document Structure Checks for page elements that may have been overlooked
during tagging. Adding these elements to the tag tree (if necessary) ensures that a screen reader can present the
content to a user.
• All Form Fields Have Descriptions Checks for form fields that are missing descriptions.
• Tab Order Is Consistent With The Structure Order Checks whether tags properly reflect the document’s structure.
• List And Table Structure Is Correct Checks whether tags that have been generated for lists and tables meet the
requirements of tagged PDF.

If you choose Create Accessibility Report in the Accessibility Full Check dialog box, you can specify a folder where
you want the report to be saved. When the full check is complete, the accessibility report appears in the navigation

that .pdf is replaced by PDF.html.

running the full check. The HTML file refers to the PDF file with a relative path.
