New feature:
Accessibility Checker reminders when creating PDFs
PDFs can be difficult for people with disabilities to read if the source Office document is not accessible before saving to PDF. The Accessibility Checker can remind people who create PDFs to investigate recommendations on what would make the PDF more usable for people with disabilities. Now, when you create a PDF by clicking File > Save As or File > Export, the accessibility checker will notify users to investigate issues.
How to enable:
Select the Check accessibility while I work check box by either clicking Review > Check Accessibility or File > Options > Ease of Access.
Scenarios to try:
- Convert a document into PDF by clicking File > Save As or File > Export.
- Follow the prompt to investigate accessibility checker issues.
