Introduction
Section 10: Evaluating Adobe PDF documents for accessibility problems
This section describes the two Acrobat tools that you should use for checking the extent of accessibility in Adobe PDF
documents. These tools enable you to identify figures that are missing alternate text and pages that have reading
order problems. It also highlights global accessibility problems, such as whether all the fonts in the document are
accessible to screen readers.
Section 11: Repairing reading order and basic tagging problems
This section describes how to use the TouchUp Reading Order tool to assess and fix reading order problems and basic
tagging issues that can interfere with accessibility. It also explains how to use the tool to add alternate text to figures
and descriptions to form fields.
Section 12: Adding other accessibility features
This section describes how to add other accessibility features to an Adobe PDF document, including accessible links
and document navigation features. It also describes how to set a document language, set security settings so they
don't interfere with assistive technology, and add a watermark to tagged PDF documents.
Section 13: Fixing advanced accessibility problems
This section is for advanced users who need to edit the tag tree of an Adobe PDF document to add specific accessi-
bility features or to fix complex accessibility problems. You can edit the tag tree to create tags for links that you added
late in the workflow, add alternate text to links, improve the accessibility of complex tables, remove obsolete tags,
rearrange the tags of entire pages at a time, and perform other detailed changes on tags.
Appendix: Standard tags for Adobe PDF documents
This section describes the standard tag types that apply to tagged Adobe PDF documents. These standard tags
provide assistive technology with a base set of concepts to use in interpreting document structure and presenting
content logically to a user.
