• 602.3 (Support Docs)

Software: Most visual structure and relationship information is provided through semantics.

Exceptions include:

Content is arranged visually like a data table, but it is not programmatically marked up as a table, so the table's structure and relationships are not conveyed to people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; View PDF - Attachments; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Acrobat Home.

A group of form controls is not programmatically associated with their group label, so the purpose of individual controls in the group cannot be understood by people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - date field properties; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Edit - Links; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form - list box properties.

The group label is not associated with its group of radio buttons. The purpose of individual radio buttons in the group cannot be understood without the group label. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Fill and Sign; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Edit - Links; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Export PDF; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Prepare Form - list box properties; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General.

Revised Section 508

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

Software: Most components receive focus in a meaningful order.

Exceptions include:

Keyboard focus or touch screen swiping goes to an element that is hidden or empty, so people who use the keyboard to navigate content (including screen reader users) may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following pages: Comment on PDF; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact.

The focus order is not logical and presents content in an order that misrepresents its meaning or operability, so people who use a keyboard, switch control, or other assistive technology to navigate content may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following pages: Enhance Scan; Prepare for Accessibility; Comment on PDF; View PDF - Attachments; Use guided actions; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Acrobat Tools pane; Prepare Form - General; Edit PDF; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Add a stamp; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).

Software: The purpose of most links can be determined from the link text alone or from the link text and its programmatic context.

Exceptions include:

The purpose of the link is not made clear by its text or the context provided by the content that immediately surrounds it, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not know where the link goes. This occurs on the following page: Edit PDF.

Revised Section 508 – Does not apply

Software: In most product functions, accessible names of controls contain the text of their visible labels.

Exceptions include:

The accessible name of an interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not contain the visible label, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Prepare for Accessibility; Comment on PDF; Protect a PDF; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - date field properties; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Use guided actions - Actions; Acrobat Tools pane; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Use a Certificate; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Edit - Links; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Add a stamp; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Prepare Form - button properties; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).

An interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not have an accessible name because its visible label is not programmatically associated with the element, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following pages: Prepare Form - date field properties; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Use guided actions - Actions; Acrobat Tools pane; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties.

The accessible name of an interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) includes the visible label but has other words interspersed, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element.

Software: In most cases, when a user inputs information or interacts with a control, it does not result in a substantial change to the page that could disorient the user, or the user is informed about the change ahead of time.

Exceptions include:

When a user changes the setting of a user interface control (such as entering text in an input field or selecting a checkbox or radio button), it results in an unanticipated context change (such as opening a new window, moving focus to another element, or submitting a form), so people who have cognitive disabilities and others may be confused or disoriented. This occurs on the following page: Send for Comments.

When a user enters text in an input field or selects a checkbox or radio button, a new window unexpectedly opens, so people who have cognitive disabilities and others may be confused or disoriented. This occurs on the following page: Protect a PDF - Set security properties.

Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic name, role, state, or value information.

Examples include:

A custom checkbox element does not have a programmatic role and/or its current state (checked or not checked) is not conveyed programmatically, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be aware that the element is a checkbox or if the checkbox is checked. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; View PDF - Thumbnails.

An element that appears and functions like a combobox does not have the required attributes needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, 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 pages: Comment on PDF; Edit - Organize PDF.

An element that appears and functions like a modal dialog does not have the required attributes needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, 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 pages: Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).

A custom radio button does not have a role and/or a state (checked/unchecked) that are conveyed to assistive technology, 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 radio button, how to use it, and whether it is checked. This occurs on the following pages: Fill and Sign; Redact a PDF - Set Properties.

For an element that allows a user either to select or not select a single option (like a checkbox or radio buttons) or to select from among 2 or more options (like a select dropdown), the state (such as checked/unchecked or selected/not selected) is not conveyed to assistive technology, 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 element, the options available, and whether the element or an option is currently checked. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Create PDF; View PDF - Attachments; AI Assistant; Use guided actions - Actions; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General.

In a table that can be sorted by column, the sorted state (ascending or descending) of the table's columns is not conveyed to assistive technology or the state conveyed is incorrect, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the order in which the table's content is presented and whether that order is meaningful when interpreting the data. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; View PDF - Attachments; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties.

An element that appears and functions like a set of tabs with their associated tab panels does not have the required attributes needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the element's name, purpose, content, structure, or current state or how to interact with the tabs and their associated content. This occurs on the following pages: Use guided actions - Actions; Prepare Form; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties.

The content of a tooltip cannot be accessed using a screen reader, so people who are blind and others who use a screen reader will not be able to read this content. This occurs on the following pages: Enhance Scan; Prepare for Accessibility; Comment on PDF; View PDF - Attachments; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; Use guided actions; Protect a PDF; AI Assistant; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Edit - Organize PDF; Acrobat Tools pane; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Prepare Form - General; Quick Tools in Document; Edit PDF; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Redact a PDF; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks.

A link does not have a programmatic role, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose and function of the link or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following pages: Fill and Sign; Export PDF; AI Assistant Purchase.

A form field does not have a programmatic name, 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 field or what input it requires. This occurs on the following pages: Comment on PDF; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties.

A link does not have discernible link text, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the destination or function of the link. This occurs on the following pages: Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; View PDF - Read.

Multiple controls do not have a programmatic role, so each control’s role of a button 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 pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Prepare for Accessibility; Comment on PDF; View PDF - Attachments; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; Use guided actions; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Fill and Sign; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Edit - Organize PDF; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Prepare Form - General; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Edit PDF; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Redact a PDF; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Compress a PDF; Add a stamp; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Acrobat Home; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures); and the component Color palette which appears on multiple pages.

The programmatic state of some elements that reveal or hide content ("expanded" or "collapsed") is missing or is used incorrectly, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be informed of the current state of each element or the state will be misrepresented. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Create PDF; Comment on PDF; View PDF - Attachments; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; Use guided actions; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Edit - Organize PDF; Use guided actions - Actions; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Prepare Form - General; Quick Tools in Document; Edit PDF; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Edit - Links; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Add a stamp; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks; Prepare Form - list box properties; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).

Some elements that appear and function like a modal dialog do not have the required attributes in its HTML code needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, 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 each element or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Use guided actions - Actions; AI Assistant Purchase; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document.

Multiple buttons do not have a programmatic role and name, so each button's role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) and its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") are 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 pages: Comment on PDF; AI Assistant; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Edit PDF; Generative Summaries; View PDF - Navigate & View.

Multiple elements that appear and function like a tree view widget that presents a hierarchical list do not have the required attributes in its HTML code needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand name, purpose, structure, or content of each list or how to interact with it.

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 pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact.

A control has an incorrect programmatic role, so the role (like "button" or "link") conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents the control's function to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Enhance Scan; Prepare Form.

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 pages: Prepare Form - Component Menu; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Redact a PDF; Acrobat Home; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact.

Multiple elements that appear and function like a combobox do not have the required attributes in its HTML code needed to provide its programmatic role, name, state, and other properties to assistive technology, 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 each element or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following page: Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures.

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 pages: Prepare Form - General Properties; View PDF - Navigate & View.
