Color contrast
When this check fails, it's possible that the document contains content that isn't accessible to people who are color-
blind.
To fix this issue, make sure that the document's content adheres to the guidelines outlined in WCAG section 1.4.3. Or,
include a recommendation that the PDF viewer use high-contrast colors:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 Click Accessibility.
3 Select Replace Document Colors, and then select Use High-Contrast Colors. Choose the color combination that you
want from the drop-down list, and then click OK.
Page content
Tagged content
This check reports whether all content in the document is tagged. Make sure that all content in the document is either
included in the Tags tree, or marked as an artifact.
Do one of the following to fix this rule check:
• Open the Content panel and right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the content that you want to mark
as an artifact. Then, select Create Artifact from the context menu. (To display the Content tab, choose View >
Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Content.)
• Tag the content by choosing Tools > Accessibility > Reading Order. Select the content, and then apply tags as
necessary.
• Assign tags using the Tags panel. Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the element in the Tags tree,
and choose Create Tag From Selection. Items such as comments, links, and annotations don't always appear in the
Tags tree. To find these items, choose Find from the Options menu. (To display the Tags panel, choose View >
Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags.)
