Table 1: Success Criteria, Level A
Notes:
Guideline 1.1 Text Alternatives:
Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.
Software: The product provides sufficient text alternatives for most instances of non-text content.
Exceptions include:
Some informative images do not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or user a screen reader will not be able to access the information conveyed by the image. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; View PDF - Read.
Some images that act as a link or control do not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by each image. This occurs on the following page: Fill and Sign.
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.
The group label is not associated with its checkboxes. The purpose of individual checkboxes in the group cannot be understood without the group label. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password.
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 page: AI Assistant.
Software: The product does not present most content in a meaningful sequence.
Exceptions include:
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 pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Prepare for Accessibility; 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; Fill and Sign; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; 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; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Use guided actions - Actions; Acrobat Tools pane; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; 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; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Edit PDF; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Edit - Links; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Redact a PDF; AI Assistant Purchase; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Compress a PDF; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Summary; 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; Prepare Form; Acrobat Home; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Use a Certificate: Validate all signature; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; View PDF - Navigate & View; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Prepare Form - list box properties; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures); Use guided actions - Optimize for Web and Mobile.
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 pages: Quick Tools in Document; and the component Color palette, which appears on multiple pages.
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 pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Comment on PDF; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Prepare Form - list box properties.
Software: Most product functionality cannot be operated through a keyboard interface.
Examples include:
A function cannot be performed using only the keyboard, so people who use the keyboard alone to navigate and operate content cannot use this function. 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; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; 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; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Edit - Links; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Redact a PDF; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks; View PDF - Read; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).
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).
Keyboard focus or touch screen swiping goes to multiple elements that are 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: Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Use guided actions - Actions; View PDF - Thumbnails; AI Assistant Purchase.
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.
Guideline 2.5 Input Modalities:
Make it easier for users to operate functionality through various inputs beyond keyboard.
Software: Product functions that use a single pointer are completed when the user releases the pointer and allow the user to cancel the pointer action before completing the pointer click.
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. This occurs on the following pages: Prepare for Accessibility; Protect a PDF; Fill and Sign.
Software: In most product functions, components do not initiate a change of context when focused.
Exception includes:
When an element receives keyboard focus, it results in a substantial, unanticipated context change (such as a change in the page content that changes the meaning of the page), so people who use a keyboard to navigate content (including screen reader users) may become confused or disoriented. This occurs on the following page: Acrobat Home.
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: On web pages that contain help features (including human or automated contact options or self-help options), those features occur in the same order relative to other page content unless the user changes that order.
Software: Most input errors are identified and described to the users in text.
Exception includes:
An error for a form input (such as a text input field, radio button, select dropdown, or checkbox) is not identified with a text error message or a text alternative for an image, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not be made aware that an error has occurred. This occurs on the following page: Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures.
Software: Labels are provided for most input fields.
Exceptions include:
The label of an element is not persistent (always visible on the page), so the element's purpose may be difficult to discover. This occurs on the following pages: Comment on PDF; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).
The label for a form field is missing, so the field's purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks; Prepare Form - list box properties.
A group of elements is missing a visible group label, so the purpose of the elements in the group cannot be understood. This occurs on the following pages: Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact.
The labels for some form fields are missing, so each field’s purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following page: Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures.
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.

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. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; 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; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - button properties; View PDF - Bookmarks; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Prepare Form - list box properties.
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.
Software: Most text meets minimum contrast requirements.
Exceptions include:
The color contrast ratio between placeholder text in an input and the input's background is less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the placeholder text. This occurs on the following pages: AI Assistant; Acrobat Tools pane; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).
The color contrast ratio between text and its background is less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the text. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Use guided actions - Actions; Export PDF; Acrobat Home.
The color contrast ratio on hover or focus between a control's text label and its background is less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the text label of the control. This occurs on the following pages: Acrobat Home; Acrobat Tools pane; Add a stamp; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; AI Assistant; AI Assistant Purchase; Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Comment on PDF; Compress a PDF; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Create PDF; Edit - Links; Edit - Organize PDF; Edit PDF; Enhance Scan; Export PDF; Fill and Sign; Generative Summaries; Prepare for Accessibility; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; Prepare Form; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - General; Prepare Form - General Properties; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Summary; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Redact a PDF; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate: Validate all signature; Use guided actions; Use guided actions - Actions; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Optimize for Web and Mobile; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; View PDF - Attachments; View PDF - Bookmarks; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Read; View PDF - Thumbnails; and the component Color palette found on multiple screens.
Software: The product does not provide its own text resizing function. When text is resized using operating system display scaling content and functionality is lost in most product functions.
Examples include:
Content is lost, clipped, or obscured when the page is zoomed to 200%, so people who have low vision and need to enlarge text to read it may not have access to that content. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Use guided actions - Actions; Acrobat Tools pane; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; AI Assistant Purchase; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View.
Software: At the required width of 320 CSS pixels, most functions of the product do not meet this criterion. Loss of information or functionality occurs.
Examples include:
When the page is adjusted to an equivalent width of 320 pixels and content reflows to fit within the viewport, some content or functionality becomes unavailable, so people with low vision who increase the size of text and other content using the browser zoom will not be able to access all of the page's content and/or functionality. This occurs on the following pages: Acrobat Home; Acrobat Tools pane; Add a stamp; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; AI Assistant; AI Assistant Purchase; Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Comment on PDF; Compress a PDF; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Create PDF; Edit - Links; Edit - Organize PDF; Edit PDF; Enhance Scan; Export PDF; Fill and Sign; Generative Summaries; Prepare for Accessibility; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; Prepare Form; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - General; Prepare Form - General Properties; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Summary; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Redact a PDF; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate: Validate all signature; Use guided actions; Use guided actions - Actions; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Optimize for Web and Mobile; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; View PDF - Attachments; View PDF - Bookmarks; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Read; View PDF - Thumbnails; and the component Color palette found on multiple screens.
Software: Most meaningful non-text content elements have sufficient contrast.
Exceptions include:
The visual boundary of an interactive element (like a radio button or input field) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty perceiving the boundaries of the interactive element. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Quick Tools in Document; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); View PDF - Navigate & View; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures); and on the component Color palette which appears on multiple pages.
An icon (or part of the icon required to understand its content) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background or adjacent colors, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may not be able understand the information presented by the icon. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Comment on PDF; View PDF - Attachments; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Prepare Form - Component Menu; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; View PDF - Bookmarks; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General.
The indicator for the state of an interactive element (like a checkbox or radio button) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty perceiving the state of the interactive element. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; View PDF - Attachments; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Prepare Form - General Properties; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; View PDF - Bookmarks.
The focus indicator of an interactive element (like a button or input field) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty perceiving when the interactive element is receiving focus. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Create PDF; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Acrobat Tools pane; Edit - Links; Prepare Form.
Software: Most of the product’s functionality, the additional content that is displayed on hover or focus is dismissible, hoverable or persistent.
Exceptions include:
Content that appears on mouse hover or keyboard focus (such as tooltips, drop-down menus, or popups) is not dismissible, so it obscures all or part of the original content on the page. 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; AI Assistant; Fill and Sign; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Edit - Organize PDF; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Use guided actions - Actions; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Prepare Form - General; Quick Tools in Document; Edit PDF; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Redact a PDF; Compress a PDF; Add a stamp; Acrobat Home; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks.
Content that appears on mouse hover (such as tooltips, drop-down menus, or popups) disappears when the mouse pointer is moved over that content, meaning people with disabilities, especially people with low vision who need to magnify text, may not be able to read the additional content. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; 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; Use guided actions - Actions; View PDF - Thumbnails; Acrobat Tools pane; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Prepare Form - General; Quick Tools in Document; Edit PDF; Use a Certificate; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Export PDF; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Redact a PDF; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Compress a PDF; Add a stamp; Acrobat Home; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Bookmarks.
Software: Most headings and labels are descriptive.
Exceptions include:
A label for a control or form input field does not convey the purpose of the control or input, so users may not understand what the control does or what data to enter, especially people with cognitive or learning disabilities and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Comment on PDF; Use guided actions; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Edit - Organize PDF; Edit PDF; and the component Color palette which appears on multiple pages.
A programmatic label for a control or form input field does not convey the purpose of the control or input, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not understand what the control does or what data to enter. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Comment on PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - date field properties; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; 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; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Edit - Links; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Redact a PDF; Compress a PDF; 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; Prepare Form; Acrobat Home; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; View PDF - Navigate & View; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures).
Multiple buttons have identical programmatic labels but different functionality, and there is no programmatic context, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not know or may be confused or misled about what each button does. This occurs on the following pages: Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Acrobat Home.
Software: Most focusable elements have a visible keyboard focus indicator.
Exceptions include:
An interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not have a visual focus indicator, so sighted people who use a keyboard to navigate content will not know when that element is receiving focus. This occurs on the following pages: Enhance Scan; Create PDF; Comment on PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Quick Tools in Document; Prepare Form.
Software: Most, if not all, functionality that uses a dragging movement cannot be achieved by a single pointer without dragging, excepting functions for which dragging is essential or the functionality is determined by the user agent and not modified by the author.
Exceptions include:
Some functionality relies on a dragging movement with no single-pointer, single touch alternative, making it difficult or impossible for persons with motor difficulties and users of assistive technology to perform the gesture on the following pages: Acrobat Home; Acrobat Tools pane; Add a stamp; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; AI Assistant; AI Assistant Purchase; Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Comment on PDF; Compress a PDF; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Create PDF; Edit - Links; Edit - Organize PDF; Edit PDF; Enhance Scan; Export PDF; Fill and Sign; Generative Summaries; Prepare for Accessibility; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; Prepare Form; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - General; Prepare Form - General Properties; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Summary; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Redact a PDF; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate: Validate all signature; Use guided actions; Use guided actions - Actions; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Optimize for Web and Mobile; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; View PDF - Attachments; View PDF - Bookmarks; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Read; View PDF - Thumbnails; and the component Color palette found on multiple screens.
Software: The size of the target for most clickable controls is at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, except where the target size is determined by the user agent; there is a different control with equivalent functionality; the target is inline with text; the presentation of the target is essential to the function or otherwise exempted under the rule; or each control is spaced such that a 24-pixel circle placed around the bounding box of the control will not intersect any similar circle for another control.
Exceptions include:
Multiple target hit areas do not meet minimum 24x24 pixel side or spacing making it difficult for users with hand tremors and those who have difficulty with fine motor movement to activate them accurately. This occurs on the following pages: Acrobat Home; Acrobat Tools pane; Add a stamp; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; AI Assistant; AI Assistant Purchase; Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Comment on PDF; Compress a PDF; Compress a PDF - Advanced Optimization; Compress a PDF - Optimize Scanned Pages; Compress a PDF - Reduce File Size; Create PDF; Edit - Links; Edit - Organize PDF; Edit PDF; Enhance Scan; Export PDF; Fill and Sign; Generative Summaries; Prepare for Accessibility; Prepare for Accessibility - Accessibility Tags; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Prepare for Accessibility - Properties; Prepare Form; Prepare Form - Barcode properties; Prepare Form - button properties; Prepare Form - Checkbox properties; Prepare Form - Component Menu; Prepare Form - date field properties; Prepare Form - Drop-down list properties; Prepare Form - E-signature field properties; Prepare Form - General; Prepare Form - General Properties; Prepare Form - Image field properties; Prepare Form - list box properties; Prepare Form - Radio button properties; Prepare Form - Text field properties; Protect a PDF; Protect a PDF - Create a Security Envelope; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Certificate Details; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - General; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Select Recipients; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with certificate - Summary; Protect a PDF - Manage security policies; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; Protect a PDF - Set security properties; Quick Tools in Document; Redact a PDF; Redact a PDF - Find Text and Redact; Redact a PDF - Sanitize Document; Redact a PDF - Set Properties; Send for Comments; Use a Certificate; Use a Certificate - Certify (visible signatures; Use a Certificate - Digitally Sign; Use a Certificate: Certify (invisible signature); Use a Certificate: Validate all signature; Use guided actions; Use guided actions - Actions; Use guided actions - Archive Documents; Use guided actions - Custom Commands; Use guided actions - Make accessible; Use guided actions - Optimize for Web and Mobile; Use guided actions - Optimize Scanned Documents; Use guided actions - Prepare for Distribution; Use guided actions - Publish Sensitive Information; View PDF - Attachments; View PDF - Bookmarks; View PDF - Navigate & View; View PDF - Read; View PDF - Thumbnails; and the component Color palette found on multiple screens.
Software: No authentication processes are included in the site, or if authentication processes are present, they do not include a cognitive function test.
Software: In most cases, status messages can be programmatically determined and presented by assistive technologies without receiving focus.
Exceptions include:
A status message is not automatically announced by the screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may completely miss the status message or they may not hear it in a timely fashion. This occurs on the following pages: Combine Files / Organize during Combine; Enhance Scan; Create PDF; Comment on PDF; Protect a PDF - Remove hidden information; AI Assistant; Protect a PDF - Protect with a Password & Remove Security; Adobe Sign / Send for Signatures; Send for Comments; Prepare for Accessibility - Autotag; Generative Summaries; Protect a PDF - Encrypt with a password; Use a Certificate: Validate all signature.
