Audit a downloadable document for accessibility. Document type (PDF, Word, slide deck), purpose, and audience: [DOCUMENT_DETAILS]. How it was created and the tool used: [AUTHORING_TOOL]. Structure description or extracted text with headings: [PASTE_STRUCTURE_OR_TEXT].

Check each item and report Pass, Fail, or Cannot tell, with how to check it:
[ ] Created from an accessible source, not scanned images; text is selectable
[ ] Tagged PDF with a logical tag structure and reading order
[ ] Document title set and the language defined
[ ] Headings used in order and by style, not just bold text
[ ] Lists and tables are real structures; tables have header cells and no merged complexity where avoidable
[ ] Images have alt text; decorative images are marked
[ ] Links are descriptive and work
[ ] Color contrast and no information by color alone
[ ] Form fields are labeled and in tab order
[ ] Bookmarks for documents longer than a few pages
[ ] Page numbers match visible numbers
[ ] Security settings do not block assistive technology
[ ] Headers, footers, and columns do not break reading order
[ ] An accessible alternative or HTML version exists where required

Explain the best fixes in the authoring tool I use rather than editing the PDF later. Give a short remediation workflow with an accessibility checker run and a manual screen reader pass, and a template checklist for authors.
