Headings - Appropriate Nesting

Question

A Graphic Designer build a very long pdf document (Strategic Plan) and it passed Accessibility test in Adobe, however our website stated it failed for:

PDF headings not following a logical order WCAG A 1.3.1
The first heading should be a H1WCAG A 1.3.1

Is there an easy way of seeing all the Headings in order Adobe Acrobat Pro DC? ideally I would love to see a list of them all, so I can manually check/fix issues:

<H1

<H2

<H3

<H5 **** wrong - so would fix this as it should be <H4

If you've run the Accessibilty Checker and it give you an error for "nested headings" fail(s), if you open that fail's drop-down and select the "show in contents panel" option, it will take you directly to the heading that is failing.

The fail will occur when you have an improper sequence in the headings (like the one you showd above, where it went from an <H3> to an <H5>....without an <H4>.

If there are multiple fails, you can "go to" each one (individually) by selecting it in the accessibility checker's list of nested heading fails.

Hope this helps.
