Hi Team,
We are using ASPOSE for Words to generate a pdf from a word template. Our application fills the word template with the appropriate data and generates a pdf… The resultant pdf document is failing accessibility checks by Acrobat Pro DC . The main failures are listed below
- Tagged PDF (Document is tagged PDF)
- Primary language (Text language is specified)
- Title (Document title is showing in title bar)
- Tagged content (All page content is tagged)
- Tab order (Tab order is consistent with structure order)
- Figures alternate text (Figures require alternate text)
- Nested alternate text (Alternate text that will never be read)
- Associated with content (Alternate text must be associated with some content)
- Hides annotation (Alternate text should not hide annotation)
- Other elements alternate text (Other elements that require alternate text)
- Rows (TR must be a child of Table, THead, TBody, or TFoot)
- TH and TD (TH and TD must be children of TR)
- Headers (Tables should have headers)
- Regularity (Tables must contain the same number of columns in each row and rows in each column)
- List items (LI must be a child of L)
- Lbl and LBody (Lbl and LBody must be children of LI)
- Appropriate nesting (Appropriate nesting)
We are currently using the 14.2 version of Aspose For Words… Would be great if we can get the following information
- Does Aspose For Words support the generation of Accessible pdf documents and if so from which version.
-
If generation of Accessible pdf documents is supported, are there any guidelines that we need to follow while creating our .doc template
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Sabarish

Thanks for the quick reply… We will do that… In the mean time are there any standard guidelines that we should follow to ensure that the pdf document is accessible
Hi Sabarish,
Aspose.Words currently does not fully support the generation of Accessible PDF. But most of the issues could be fixed if you enable PdfSaveOptions.ExportDocumentStructure. Hope, this helps.
It would be great if you please attach sample document here for testing.
Best regards,
Hi Awaiz,
Thanks for the quick reply… The docuemnt is a confidential document. So we will not be able to send you the document .We tried generating the document with the following settings for PDFSaveOptions
PreserveFormFields = true,
ExportDocumentStructure = true,
Compliance = PdfCompliance.PdfA1a,
It solved a lot of issues… we are trying to work through the other issues. Mean while you had mentioned that the pdfs generated are not fully accessible… Cani you let us know the level of accessibility - PDF/A-1,PDF/A-2 or PDF/A-3
Regards
Sabarish
Hi Sabarish,
Thanks for your inquiry. Aspose.Words does not support PDF standards compliance level PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.
We have made this forum thread as private. Now only you and Aspose staff members can access this forum thread. Could you please attach your input Word document here for testing? We will investigate the issue on our side and provide you more information on this.
Hi Tahir,
Thanks for the support… For the time being , can you make this post public so that i can share the thread with my colleagues to indicate the current status.
Also would be a great help if you can guide me on how to make the title of the generated documents show up in title bar , when opened in Acrobat reader. Thats one of the remaining issues
Regards
Sabarish
Hi Sabarish,
