Accessibility Checker
The Accessibility Checker in Acrobat Pro scans PDFs for potential accessibility issues and provides guidance on fixing them. However, it will only alert you to errors detectable by a computer, like missing alt-text, and is not able to accurately assess things like the accuracy or usability of the alt-text, or errors in the page reading order.
