Several documents pass the Accessibility test in Adobe, but when using a tool from ADA website - Tools to Check PDFs | Section508.gov - (PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC 2), these same documents are failing on content, fonts and structure.

Now I can't figure out through Adobe how/where to fix all the problems when Adobe accessibility doesn't show them.

Hi Cleo, I have documented fixes to many PAC2 errors using Acrobat Pro. See https://taggedpdf.com/508-pdf-help-center/

Thank you.

“Adobe” isn't a product!

Acrobat Pro is a product. If this is what you used, which version and what tests within Acrobat Pro?

What did the accessibility report from Acrobat Pro DC (the latest version) indicate? Can you provide us with the original document and further information such that we can investigate?
