What's the scoop?
I just saw an ad for this and it looks like this is the new version of AA Pro. The DC stands for Document Cloud. It is available in subscription or desktop pricing and there is an educational version and an enterprise version (not sure of the pricing).
I have confirmed that this new product will produce PDF that conform to the PDF/UA standard that is part of the Section 508 Refresh proposed standards, which is good news.

It won't do anything different for PDF/UA that the previous versions will
do. The features are primarily to the UI and getting it to work over mobile
devices. There is little to no improvement for accessibility with regards
to authoring content.
You can see the little temper tantrum I had last night about it if you're
really bored or questioning your sanity:

Is the UI at least more accessible? Namely, the UI for adding
tags and making PDFs accessible, which is in current versions are
much entirely impossible to use without a mouse and the ability
to see the screen?
