Accessibility Checker to check at WCAG in line with PAC3 App checker
We are continually getting issues with compliance and the Adobe PDF Checker is not being stringent enough. We have created PDFs that are given a clear bill of health using the Adobe checker but our web team use the PAC3 app to verify and they fail on many levels. We would like Adobe to improve the checker to a similar standard so it then complies with legislation for public service bodies in the United Kingdom. Also, as we use Macs most other checkers are PC only so a level playing field would be immensely helpful. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us. Can you please provide some sample files with the PAC3 checker results so that we can check the difference and proceed accordingly.
Thanks

PAC checker checks for WCAG 2.1. You don't need sample files to update Acrobat to WCAG 2.1 (which you promised on this forum in 2019).

PAC 3 checks for PDF/UA-1 and Acrobat Checker only looks at WCAG 2.0. So you will always get different results. Acrobat has a PDF/UA checker in the Preflight tools but it is burried.

Hi there - I attach the sample files, together with the Results from both the Adobe Report and PAC 3 for comparison. Thanks.
