On September 14, I made accessible a large document with 61 tables. After properly scoping/tagging tables, I ran the Accessibility Checker and the document passed with no table fails. On September 15, I reran the Accessibility Checker and there are now 61 fails for table headers even though the tables are tagged properly. I had someone I work with run the checker on the same document using Adobe Acrobat 2017 and the tables pass with no errors. What changed with the 9.14.21 update??????
Hi All,
With the September 2021 release, PDFs with missing/incorrect table headers are flagged in the Accessibility Checker and show as failed in the accessibility check result.
We have made some changes for reverting the behaviour of Accessibility Checker to pre-September Release. The details can be found on : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/table-header-fails-in-accessibility-checker.html
I would suggest you all to use the workaround to avoid detecting the table header related issues. Thank

Hi @kga-rti-kga,
You might be missing one option to check in the settings to export from MS Word.
We wrote a tutorial on exporting accessible PDFs from Word in our blog at https://www.pubcom.com/blog/tutorials/ms-office/export-pdf/index.shtml
Use METHOD C: and be sure to check the OPTIONS button as shown in Step 2, and then move down to check Bookmarks in Step 3.
That should do it!
