PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) version 1.3 or version 2.0

Hello all.

When testing accessibility of PDF documents, one of the tools I use is PAC 2.0. One of my colleagues tests for accessibility using version 1.3 and version 2.0 of PAC because he says both versions capture different issues.

In my own testing, I have found that issues identified in version 1.3 are false positives and are not identified version 2.0. Has anyone else experienced this?

I see no reason to continue using an old version of a tool.

Todd.
