Finishing the Adobe PDF accessibility workflow
Congratulations! You've made it through all the steps necessary to make most Adobe PDF documents accessible to
people with disabilities.
Before distributing the document, test the file for accessibility one last time. Run an accessibility Full Check, open
the document using a screen reader, or use one of Acrobat's features to verify the reading order, as described in
"Section 10: Evaluating Adobe PDF documents for accessibility problems" on page 52.
If the final test still shows problems with reading order or basic accessibility, return to the appropriate sections of this
guide and use the TouchUp Reading Order tool and other features in Acrobat Professional to fix them.
Going the extra mile for accessibility
Acrobat Professional provides access to an Adobe PDF document's tag tree, which you can edit to achieve optimal
accessibility for people with disabilities. Some of the techniques of editing the tag tree are very basic, and some are
quite advanced. You should consider editing the tag tree if you want to do any of the following tasks to optimize the
accessibility of a PDF document:
•
Create tags for links that you added to a tagged PDF document by using the Links tool or the Create From URLs
In Document command
•
Add alternate text to links
Rearrange groups of tags to match the order of pages that you replaced or inserted into the PDF document
•
Remove obsolete tags that are left over after you deleted pages from the document
•
Add expanded text to acronyms and abbreviations
•
•
Set the document language for specific paragraphs or text
•
Make tables fully accessible
Check and fix the logical reading order of complex pages
•
For instructions on how to perform any of these tasks in the tag tree, see "Section 13: Fixing advanced
accessibility problems" on page 92.
