Check Accessibility with Full Check

Use the Full Check command to check whether a PDF is compliant with accessibility standards of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. You can choose which kinds of accessibility items to check for and how to view the results.

To check accessibility with the Full Check command, please do as below:

  1. Choose Accessibility > Full Check.
  2. In the Accessibility Checker Options dialog box, select options you need to check for. See also the Accessibility Issues. 
  3. In Report Options section, check Create Accessibility Report option if needed to save the results as an HTML file and specify the save path. You can also check Attach report to document to add the accessibility report as an attachment of the PDF document.
  4. Show this dialog when the Checker starts: If this option is checked, the Accessibility Checker Options dialog box will pop up whenever you run the Full Check. Otherwise, the dialog box won’t appear. If the dialog is hidden, go to File > Preferences > Accessibility and change the setting to show the dialog.
  5. Click Options button and specify the page range to do a full check.
  6. Click Start Checking.
