Re: PDF Double Check

Laurie,

With its tables, form elements, etc, you have a fairly complex 8-page PDF that would take a trained analyst 3 hours to thoroughly remediate. Not something we would give a new analyst to work on.

You can run a free PAC3 test program to find these several elements that fail:

- Tables fail for structure
- Form tags fail for structure
- Metadata is missing
- The logical tab order fails

That and the Adobe Accessibility Checker are minimum test criteria, but those don't cover all that you would need to remediate this example.

We do that remediation work as our main business, but I suspect many on this list do so as well. I would suggest tasking an experienced PDF remediator rather than learn accessibility with this document.
