Modified on: Wed, 21 Oct, 2026 at 8:57 PM

Summary

After a PDF is analyzed, PDF Checker displays a summary of accessibility findings, including issue counts, passed checks, and document information.

Information displayed in results

The results page includes:

  • File name
  • File size
  • Page count
  • Critical issue count
  • Warning issue count
  • Number of passed checks out of 20 available checks

Critical issues

Critical issues represent accessibility problems identified during analysis.

These issues can create barriers that may prevent users from fully accessing document content.

Warnings

Warnings indicate potential accessibility concerns that may require additional review.

Not all warnings represent confirmed accessibility failures.

Passed checks

Passed checks show which accessibility requirements successfully met the evaluation criteria.

The tool reports the number of successful checks out of the total checks performed.

Why are detailed issues blurred?

PDF Checker provides a high-level view of accessibility findings while limiting access to detailed remediation information.

Examples of identified issues may be visible, but detailed issue information remains partially obscured within the tool.
