The Swiss-based Access for All Foundation has released a free PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) tool for the Windows platform.

The Swiss-based Access for All Foundation has released a free PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) tool for the Windows platform.

This tool allows users to easily verify the accessibility of any files created as a PDF document. The PAC allows a PDF to be loaded in and a check performed on the file for accessibility. The check takes a few minutes, and then provides basic feedback on the accessibility of the file.  

Accessibility issues that are checked include document tagging, use of titles, language declarations, heading structure, font encoding, reading order and alternative text.

The tool is available in both English and German, and can be downloaded from the Access for All Foundation website.
