For checking documents, Adobe includes an Accessibility check in the Accessibility tools in Adobe Pro and Adobe Pro DC. You still need to do some manual verification, but it but it does capture major structural issues that will make a PDF non-accessible.

Microsoft also includes an accessibility checker in their recent version of Office. Again, doesn't replace manual review, but it helps to quickly identify structural issues.

Lastly, NetCentric CommonLook provide a couple of tools for testing and remediation PDFs and Word and PowerPoint documents. CommonLook provides a much more indepth accessibility checking than the built in tools from Microsoft and Adobe.
