• Failed: The item didn't pass the accessibility check.
In addition to Full Check, Acrobat DC provides other methods to check PDF accessibility:
•Use Reflow a PDFto quickly check the reading order.
• Use Read Out Loud to experience the document as readers who use the text-to-speech conversion tool experience it.
• 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 Touch Up Reading Order tool for PDFs (Acrobat Pro DC), Order, Tags, and Content panels to examine the
structure, reading order, and contents of a PDF.
