PDF accessibility is vast and complicated if you do not know where to begin. This page explores real workflows and serves as a resource for specific PDF troubleshooting. We cover several important topics, including PDF/UA , WCAG, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Foxit PDF Editor, and the PAC tool.

We also have a video series that showcases real-life PDF remediation: How to make PDFs Accessible, which is also linked below.
