What it does
In this task pane, you can check your document for PDF/UA and WCAG issues.
Furthermore there is
- a set of quality checks and
- a set of AI-assisted checks
that point out possible errors.
Important: The AI model is delivered with axesPDF and runs entirely locally. axesPDF does not access the internet in any way.
Use it for
You can:
- get the number of PDF/UA and WCAG issues;
- recognize related categories of the issues;
- locate them in the document (e. g. in the logical structure);
- get information about potential for improvement (in terms of better accessibility or user-friendliness) by means of the quality checks and the AI-assisted checks;
- disable individual checks to speed up the checking process.
How to use it
Click on the Refresh button. After the check is done, you get a list of all issues.
The error messages are structured in different categories. Click on the small triangle symbol on the left-hand side of the issues to have a look on every single problem.
Double click on one error message and you will see it highlighted in the document viewer and the Logical Structure Tree pane.
Note
Right-click to open a menu with which you can completely expand or collapse the list of issues.
