Revised Section 508

  • 501 (Web)(Software)
  • 504.2 (Authoring Tool)
  • 602.3 (Support Docs)
Software: Partially Supports

Software: Most visual structure and

relationship information is provided through

object information or are available in text.

Exceptions include:

A block of text is marked up as a heading but is not a heading, so the structure of the content is misrepresented to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Home Screen; Home: Search; In App Purchase: Payment Methods & Google Play; Liquid Mode View PDF.

Text that visually functions as a heading is not marked up as a heading, so the structure of the content is not properly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: AI Assistant; Fill and Sign; Read comment; Home Screen; Protect a PDF; Subscriptions; Social Sign in: Google; Save a Copy; Export PDF; Compress PDF; Share via Link; Open a PDF; Adobe Cloud Storage; Combine a PDF; Local Acrobat; In App Purchase: Payment Methods & Google Play; User Profile; Preferences; PDF from Emails; Adobe Scan; Create a PDF; Provide Feedback on Acrobat; About Adobe Acrobat; Select Items.

Content that is visually presented as a list is not marked up as a list, so the presence and structure of the list are not conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screen: Create Account 1.

A block of text visually styled as deleted or inserted does not have semantic markup or text to indicate programmatically that the text is deleted or inserted, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not be aware that the text is deleted or inserted. This occurs on the following screen: Highlight.

Some information, structure, and/or relationships are only presented visually but not conveyed programmatically, so context provided to sighted users is not available to people who are blind. This occurs on the following screens: Read comment; Comment; Highlight.

1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A)

Also applies to:

EN 301 549 Criteria

  • 9.1.3.2 (Web)

Revised Section 508

  • 501 (Web)(Software)
  • 504.2 (Authoring Tool)
  • 602.3 (Support Docs)
Software: Partially Supports

Software: The product presents most content in a meaningful sequence.

Exceptions include:

Some visually hidden content is announced by a screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may be misled or confused when hearing content that is not intended to be part of the reading order on the page. This occurs on the following screen: Create Account 2.

The screen reader skips and does not announce informative static content (text or images), so the intended meaning of that content will be lost or changed for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Read comment; Comment; Combine a PDF.

Screen reader focus is lost or misplaced due to user interaction or content update, making navigation difficult or impossible for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology. This occurs on the following screens: Text; AI Assistant; Edit PDF - Add Text; Adobe Cloud Storage; Local Acrobat; In App Purchase: Payment Methods & Google Play; Adobe Scan; Organize Page; PDF View Settings.

When a modal is closed, screen reader focus is not returned to the control that opened the modal or to another logical location, making navigation difficult for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: AI Assistant; Fill and Sign; Home Screen; Protect a PDF; Print; Share via Link; Open a PDF; Files: Recent; Highlight; Files: Shared; Create Folder Modal; Files; Account Settings; One Drive Connector

The correct reading order of dynamically changing content is not programmatically determinable by screen readers, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not be made aware of new or changed content that is dynamically added to a page. This occurs on the following screens: Edit PDF - Add Text; Fill and Sign.

1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics (Level A)

Software: Most functions of the product do not convey information through color alone.

Exceptions include:

Color is used as the only method to convey information, so that information will not be available to people who are colorblind and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Fill and Sign; Edit PDF - Add Text; Files: Recent; Draw; Highlight.

Color is the only visual method used to identify a link, and a link text's contrast ratio with the color of the surrounding text is less than 3:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may not be able to identify the link. This occurs on the following screens: Sign In; Social Sign in: Google; Create Account 2; Create Account 1; One Drive Connector.

Color is used as the only method to convey the state (such as "checked," "pressed," or "selected”) of a control, so that information will not be available to people who are colorblind and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Text; Fill and Sign; Edit PDF - Add Text; Export PDF; Open a PDF; Draw; Highlight; Edit PDF - Add Image.

Software: Partially Supports

Software: user interface components in some product functions do not provide programmatic [name, role, state, or value] information.

Examples include:

A button does not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screen: Generative Summary.

A button does not have a programmatic role, so its role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Home Screen; Edit PDF - Add Text; Print; Export PDF; Home: Search; Comment; Highlight; Select Items; Organize Page; Invite People; Pages.

An element that looks like a modal dialog (UIAlertController) does not behave like one, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not be able to understand the purpose of the element or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following screen(s): Protect a PDF; Save a Copy; Export PDF; Compress PDF; Onboarding; Combine a PDF; Recognize Text; In App Purchase: Payment Methods & Google Play; Onboarding Trial; Provide Feedback on Acrobat.

Some informative static text is assigned an interactive role that is announced by a screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may be confused. This occurs on the following screens: AI Assistant; Print.

A control (such as a button or link) does not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screen: Edit PDF - Add Text.

A form control (such as a text input field or checkbox) is not programmatically associated with its visible label, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the form control or what input it requires. This occurs on the following screens: Text; Go to Page; Edit PDF - Add Text; Print; Combine a PDF; Invite People.

When a button is selected, its selected state is not conveyed programmatically, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be informed that the button is selected. This occurs on the following screens: AI Assistant; Edit PDF - Add Text; Open a PDF.

A control does not have a programmatic state, so the control's state (like "checked"/"unchecked" or "expanded"/"collapsed") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and the control's state and functionality is not available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Files: Recent; Generative Summary.

When a control (such as a button) is disabled, its disabled state is not conveyed programmatically, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be informed that the control is disabled. This occurs on the following screen: Invite People.

A control has an incorrect programmatic state, so the control's state (like "checked"/"unchecked" or "expanded"/"collapsed") conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents the control's state and functionality to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screen: Subscriptions.

Multiple elements do not have an attribute in their code that will provide its programmatic role to assistive technology or the role assigned is not correct (like assigning a button the role of "checkbox"), so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the name, purpose, or content of the element or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following screens: Bell Notification; Save a Copy; Combine a PDF; Files: Shared; Files; Create a PDF; Generative Summary.
