Acrobat and accessibility...
I am writing this as a plea to Adobe to add tools and functionality to Acrobat for help in remediating accessibility issues in PDF files. Currently to meet WCAG2.2 using Acrobat takes double the time as it does in creating the files. God forbid I use Illustrator to create a simple flyer as Illustrator doesn't have a paragraphy style for H1, H2, H3, etc. (or at least I can't find it) to help with nesting order. Not too mention that Illustrator to PDF sometimes creates text as a graphic element, not readable, so I have to create Alt text for most of the headlines, etc.
Currently remediating PDF's is like programming in Fortran. Something I intentionally got out of as I am a creative not a programmer. If you have a document with tables, forget it. Takes hours using Acrobat to properly nest, lable and fix. The interface is not intuitive, good luck finding the errors. Nesting orders for the rest of the document can take hours if it's a multi-page document.
Can't Adobe create, or update the accessibility checker to help with remediation? It will be happy to dump you to the Adobe site for an explanation of what's screwed up, but offer no solution.
Been working in this field for almost 40 years and this is a hell of a wrench that's being thrown at us.
