What I would like to know more about is differences in the 'accessibility quality' of PDF files generated from WORD with AA Pro 2015 vs. 2017 vs. 2020. By quality I mean things like correct tag structure or less accessibility errors detected by testing software (in my case: PDF accessibility checker 2021).

Another issue is better usability in terms of less indispensable postprocessing, e. g. 'print production' (?) -> 'preflight' (?) -> embed missing fonts.

Currently, we convert WORD files to PDF with a specialized software that is more usable and produces better accessibility results than our AA Pro DC 2015. I'd be really happy about estimates in this matter.

Best regards

The only meaningful difference I've found is I can install and use v2020 on a clean install of the newest version of Win10-64-bit, whereas v2017, which worked fine on my old but up-to-date installation of Win10-64bit, gives me some cryptic error about my OS not being up to date or the version of the browser I am using not being compatible. My Chrome brower, also freshly installed, is completely up to date. Of course, none of the fixes they suggest on their website for this actually work. Go figure 😞
