PDF Accessibility Checker for Windows

Windows utility for assessing PDF accessibility

PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) is a no-cost program for Windows that inspects PDF files to determine how accessible they are for people with disabilities. It runs an in-depth evaluation of documents, flags sections that fail to meet accepted accessibility criteria, and supplies guidance on fixes to improve usability.

Areas the checker examines

• Document structure and tagging (logical order, heading hierarchy, and navigational elements)
• Alt text and descriptions for images and non-text content
• Legibility of text (font encoding, reading order, and selectable/searchable text)

Why organizations and creators use it

PAC offers a straightforward interface for uploading and scanning PDFs, delivering quick, actionable feedback. That makes it a practical resource for publishers, nonprofits, educators, and any team working to make content inclusive and compliant with accessibility standards.
