Accessible PDFs from
Adobe Acrobat Pro
Use Acrobat Pro to verify or repair an existing PDF. If the source file exists, fixing the source and re-exporting is almost always faster.
When Acrobat is the right tool
- You only have the PDF — the Word/PowerPoint source is gone.
- The file is a scan and needs OCR plus remediation.
- You want to verify a PDF you exported from another tool.
Check and repair a PDF
- Open the PDF and choose All tools › Prepare for accessibility.
- Run “Automatically tag PDF” if the file is untagged or badly tagged.
- Run the Accessibility Check.
- Manually inspect reading order, tags, title and language, image alt text, table headers, and link text.
- Save a remediated copy with a clear name, like CourseName_Week03_accessible.pdf.
Then verify the result
Upload the exported PDF to our Tagged PDF Builder for an instant accessibility preflight — tags, alt text, and structure — and fix anything it flags.
