Review the summary report

The Summary report is automatically displayed when the PDF Accessibility Checker test is finished. In this report, an overview of the results is displayed.

Click PDF/UA, WCAG, or Quality to see the corresponding test results.

Results for each checkpoint in the list are easily visible, and are sorted into four categories:

  • Pass (green tick)
  • Warning (yellow triangle): Review the content and make any necessary corrections.
  • Failed (red cross): The issue must be corrected.
  • Not applicable (crossed-out gray circle): The checkpoint is not relevant because there are no corresponding elements.

This compact overview makes it easier to quickly assess the quality of the PDF file.
