The script you provided seems to have a couple of issues. Here are the problems and their respective solutions:
Invalid variable name: You are using a reserved keyword, "return," as a variable name. This will cause a syntax error. Change the variable name to something else, such as "returnDate."
Incorrect calculation: The formula for calculating the number of quarters between two dates is incorrect. Subtracting a constant value (0.0416666666666667) and multiplying the difference by 4 will not yield the desired result. Instead, you need to calculate the difference between the two dates and divide it by the number of milliseconds in a quarter.
Try this:
var depart = this.getField("estdeparture").value;
var returnDate = this.getField("estreturn").value;
var startDate = new Date(depart); var endDate = new Date(returnDate);
var differenceInMilliseconds = endDate - startDate;
var quarters = differenceInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 * 3); // Assuming each quarter has 3 months
event.value = quarters;
The script calculates the difference in milliseconds between the two dates and divides it by the number of milliseconds in a quarter. The result will be the number of quarters between the dates, which will be assigned to event.value .

PDF A is PDF Archive. It requires your document to include searchable text and that all fonts are unicode. This is part of why you are getting the error. This happens when you export from ARC GIS or other mapping software. They do not use unicode fonts regularly.
So now you know why. What to do about it? That answer is a little harder.
1. What useful information do you want them to be able to access? The sheet title? Legend? Notes? Markers?
-- Any of these would require you to use accessibility tags to tag the document text. However since your fonts are not unicode this process would be tricky. I have circled the info on the map that would most likely be useful and could be tagged.
2. Your map needs to be converted to an image and an image description consisting of 2-3 sentences that describe the overall purpose of the map.
3. In the end, if you wanted to just get the errors to go away, you would want to export the map as a PNG or image and then add a text-based title and then an image description. I would however offer that this method really is circumventing the idea behind PDF/A.
I would be happy to help further if you want to reach out offline but I hope this gives you some guidance.

While you cannot set a default, you can select multiple form fields at a time and edit their properties togther without having to set each one. I know setting a default would be easier, but that is all that is possible at the moment. Sorry.

It is because you are not really selecting the text but the object as a whole. It could have been a scanned and OCR'd doc or a Print to PDF doc that was converted from HTML.

I know you said you set alt-text and that is fine, the end result is the same, however, the proper field would have been the "Actual Text" field to say it phonetically as you wish. Not a big deal.
However, if someone wanted to inspect that word using assistive technology letter by letter they would hear your modification and not the actual letters on the page. There are 3rd party tools that allow you to fix those all in one shot document-wide. However, without them, it is a manual process for each instance.

You can actually set it all in InDesign. Just set a character style called “French” for the phrases so that they are already set. Just edit the Character Style Advanced property and you will see the language tag.
FOR NOW: Remember that the Container is the object that holds the properties. Not those little boxes (MCs) next to the text. So, yes, you are correct. You will need to create spans for them.
Just create a new container called <Span> and move the word into it. Then right-click > Properties and set the language.
IF YOU NEED:
When you need to separate a single word or phrase:
In the tags tree select the container they are both in <P>
Then on the page highlight the word you want to separate.
Then back in the tags tree, right-click the tag you selected and choose “Create tag from selection”
Create a new <Span> tag and move the word or phrase into it and set the language properties for that container.

If your containers all have English specified it will not respect the parent container. There is a PDF Fixup to "Set document language to the language in the tag structure"
Print Production > Preflight
Make sure your dropdown says 2015 Profiles
Click the blue wrench
Search for Language
Select the right fixup
Click Fix at the bottom.
Preflight fixup showing dialog box with Document language selected.

I know this is a really old thread but for anyone stumbling upon it, Adobe Acrobat does not validate a document meets any level of WCAG. It only evaluates the document based on a series of "pass/fail" criteria. Your document can pass Acrobat and still be 100% not WCAG compliant. 1.3.1 Info and Relationships say that the item on the page must be tagged appropriately. If there is a heading on the page it should be tagged as a heading. Acrobat only checks to see if a tag exists and does it meet technical requirements. It cannot know if your text is a heading or not. It cannot determine meaningful alt-text or many other key elements of accessibility. WCAG and Accessibility Compliance is always a combination of automated checks and MANUAL review.

When it comes to MAC you really are at a disadvantage for validating accessibility unless you are running Parallels or another PC emulator. PAC does have an online version of PAC 2023 but it is limited and only gives you a report.

While that is helpful to know you send via email, without knowing what program they are using to open the PDF the answer could vary. I was able to download the PDF and click on the little dropdown on the right. Do they know it is the dropdown on the right they should be clicking on? It is a rather small target and they may not have noticed. Clicking into the text area of the dropdown will not trigger the drop action.

It would be possible but you would need to enlist the help of a javascript author to make it happen. You would need to consider how the 1,2,3 are differentiated. 3 different files?

This is part of the issue when getting non-unicode fonts from free font sites. You can try exporting to PostScript and generating a PDF from there but it may not be possible with your chosen font. Without knowing what font it is, I cannot test anything.

You need to turn on the accessibility features of your document. Check the box for "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired." This will allow the search text feature to work as well.

Yes. You can do this. However, doing it inside Adobe InDesign would be much much easier. Building your button states in Acrobat is not ideal but can definitely be created.

While you may not accept that as the correct answer, it is in fact the only way to insert the PDF/UA identifier into your PDF using Acrobat. Passing the Acrobat Checker is NEVER a validation that your document is accessible, let alone passing PDF/UA standards. Accessibility is always a series of manual and automated checks. You can very easily have a document that has no heading tags in the tags tree yet has visible headings in the document. This would be a violation of 1.3.1 Info and Relationships yet there is no checker in existence that will flag the inappropriate tag. This is just one example. You can have a table full of TH with no TD and still pass the checker. There are so many ways that a checker will miss things. The Acrobat Checker should be your first step but definitely not your last. The link you posted is to the PAC 3 Checker. This is just a checker and does not add a PDF/UA identifier. It is a more complete checker and your document is more likely to be compliant if you pass PAC but there are ways it misses things too. Sorry. It is just not that simple.

I am on a PC, but I was able to open your Word doc and generate a PDF where all the links worked. In your second sample the link for 2021a did not work but in my PDF I was able to get it to work without any changes. So maybe it is a MAC bug on export.

This is more of a word question, but when you have a Word document with Headers you really dont have any control over if it will export the header area or not. There are really only have a few controls when exporting. None of them allow you to remove the header space.
