Checking color contrast in pdf, doc, etc files on web

I am working with a colleague on a Web accessibility webinar targeting how to properly prep Word/Excel/PowerPoint docs for accessibility, including when they are converted to pdf. I was looking for the best resource when there was a need to check color contrast of a word/excel/powerpoint/pdf file. Many color contrast analyzers target web pages. I noticed Chrome had a browser add-on for such things as this.

Does anyone recommend any specific tool(s)?

Thanks!
