PDF Accessibility Audit

Table output Has example

Check tags, reading order, alt text and forms in a PDF.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Audit a PDF for accessibility. A description of the document: pages, headings, images, tables, forms and how it was created: [PDF_DESCRIPTION]. Text extracted from the file: [EXTRACTED_TEXT]. Where it will be used: [USE].

Check whether the document is tagged, whether headings are real headings, reading order, alt text, table headers, form field labels, language setting, bookmarks, document title, scanned images of text, and colour contrast. State what can be judged from my description and what needs a checker tool and manual review.

Return a table with Issue, Evidence, Severity (red, amber, green) and Fix, an overall score from 1 to 10, and a decision on whether to repair the PDF or rebuild from source. Standards are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION].

Add a short guide to creating the document accessibly from the start, so that the PDF is a by-product and not a repair job. Suggest a prioritisation of the pages with the most content, and a rule for when to publish an HTML version instead.

Then plan the process to stop the problem recurring. Write a short guide for authors on creating accessible source documents, with steps for headings, lists, tables, images, links, language and document properties, and a checklist for exporting. Specify what a final check should include, such as a checker report, a keyboard and reading order test, and a review with a screen reader on at least one page of each type. Suggest a triage rule for older PDFs: replace with a web page, repair, retire or provide on request. Provide a template for recording each document's status, the person responsible and the date checked. Include wording for a notice on the page that offers alternative formats and describes how to ask for them, and a plan for answering such requests within a stated time. Standards and legal duties are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION].

Report (invented 12-page brochure)
Tagged: no. Reading order: wrong on pages 3 and 7 (two columns). Headings: bold text, not real headings. Alt text: 0 of 6 images. Table on page 9 has no header row. Language not set. Document title blank.
Severity: red for tags, reading order and tables; amber for language and title.
Decision: rebuild from the source file; repair would take about as long. Estimated effort 3 to 4 hours (assumption).
Tests after rebuild: checker report, screen reader on pages 1, 7 and 9, keyboard check of links.
