Note: The accessibility checker tools can help to identify areas of documents that may be in conflict with the Adobe interpretation of the accessibility guidelines referenced in the application and its documentation. However, these tools don't check documents against all accessibility criteria, including those in such referenced guidelines, and Adobe doesn't warrant that documents comply with any specific guidelines or regulations.

If the document is unstructured, a message may appear, suggesting that you change reading order preferences. More Help topics "Setting accessibility preferences" on page 255 Accessibility Quick Check results "This document has logical structure but it is not a Tagged PDF. Some accessibility information may be missing." Quick Check has found an underlying document structure in the document, so Acrobat will use the available document structure to control the reading order, rather than analyzing the document itself. However, this untagged document structure might be incomplete or unreliable, so assistive software and the accessibility features in Acrobat (such as the Read Out Loud and the Save As Text features) may not read the page properly. If the reading order of the page seems to be wrong, select Override The Reading Order In Tagged Documents in the Reading panel of the Preferences dialog box. "This document is not structured, so the reading order may not be correct. Try different reading orders using the Reading Preferences panel." Quick Check has found no underlying document structure that Acrobat can use for reading order. Acrobat will analyze the reading order of the document using the current analysis method set in the Reading Order preference, but this PDF might not be read correctly by screen readers. If the reading order seems wrong, select a different option for Reading Order in the Reading panel of the Preferences dialog box. "No accessibility problems were detected in this quick check. Choose the Full Check command to check more thoroughly." Quick Check has found that the PDF contains searchable text, is tagged, has an underlying document structure, and has no security settings that prohibit access for screen readers. To check for other types of accessibility problems that may be present in the PDF, use Full Check. "This document's security settings prevent access by screen readers." Quick Check has found that the PDF has security settings that interfere with screen readers' ability to extract text for conversion to speech.
