Section 1: Success Criteria, Level A

Notes:

Guideline 1.1 Text Alternatives:

Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.

Criteria	Conformance Level	Remarks and Explanations
1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A) Also applies to: EN 301 549 Criteria 9.2.1 (Web) 10.2.1 (non-web document) 11.2.1.1 (Software) 11.2.2.1 (Closed Functionality Software) 11.6.2 (Authoring Tool) 12.1.2 (Product Docs) 12.2.4 (Support Docs) 2017 Section 508 501 (Web)(Software) 504.2 (Authoring Tool) 602.3 (Support Docs)	Software: Supports with Exceptions Authored Content (PDF): Supports Authored Content (EPUB): Supports with Exceptions	Software: Text alternatives are provided for many instances of non-text content, with the following exceptions: Although all enabled controls in the product’s application bar have tooltips that provide textual descriptions, these tooltips can only be exposed by using a mouse to hover over a given control’s icon, such as the ‘?’ which represents the help menu, and are not available in an accessibility supported way to assistive technology. The icons that represent the Document, Open, Save, Import File, Print, Toggle View Only, Paste, Undo, Repeat, and Undo History controls are other examples of this issue. Authored Content (PDF): The product allows authors to provide an alternate text attribute on an anchored frame, which gives corresponding figure elements in the generated PDF an “alt text” attribute. Authored Content (EPUB): When using the product for publishing to EPUB, there is no method for adding alternative text. A workaround for this issue can be to decompress the EPUB file and add alternative text to images in the XHTML file.

Guideline 1.2 Time-based Media:

Provide alternatives for time-based media.

Criteria	Conformance Level	Remarks and Explanations
1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) (Level A) Also applies to: EN 301 549 Criteria 9.2.2 (Web) 10.2.2 (non-web document) 11.2.1.2 (Software) 11.2.2.2.1 and 11.2.2.2.2 (Closed Software) 11.6.2 (Authoring Tool) 12.1.2 (Product Docs) 12.2.4 (Support Docs) 2017 Section 508 501 (Web)(Software) 504.2 (Authoring Tool) 602.3 (Support Docs)	Software: Supports Authored Content (PDF): Supports Authored Content (EPUB): Supports	Software: The product does not provide prerecorded audio-only or video-only content.

Authored Content (PDF): Exceptions include: Although the product allows authors to create PDF documents containing multimedia, content creators are responsible for providing captions to any pre-recorded audio. Open captions can be inserted into video content, but the product doesn’t provide this functionality when saving to PDF. Authored Content (EPUB): Exceptions include: Although the product allows authors to create EPUB documents containing multimedia, content creators are responsible for providing captions to any pre-recorded audio. Open captions can be inserted into video content, but the product doesn’t provide this functionality.

Authored Content (PDF): PDF authors using the product can create textual alternatives for pre-recorded videos by adding the textual alternative content to the document itself. Authored Content (EPUB): EPUB authors using the product can create textual alternatives for pre-recorded videos by adding the textual alternative content to the document itself.

Guideline 1.3 Adaptable:

Criteria	Conformance Level	Remarks and Explanations
1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) Also applies to: EN 301 549 Criteria 9.2.7 (Web) 10.2.7 (non-web document) 11.2.1.7 (Software) 11.2.2.7 (Closed Software) – Does not apply 11.6.2 (Authoring Tool) 12.1.2 (Product Docs) 12.2.4 (Support Docs) 2017 Section 508 501 (Web)(Software) 504.2 (Authoring Tool) 602.3 (Support Docs)	Software: Supports with Exceptions Authored Content (PDF): Supports with Exceptions Authored Content (EPUB): Supports with Exceptions	Software: Many user interface elements provide programmatic information about structure and relationships. Exceptions include: Several controls in the product’s application bar are not exposed programmatically or as text to assistive technology.

Authored Content (PDF): Authors can provide appropriate semantics for content elements, with the following exceptions: The product can create client-side image map behavior in PDF documents in the form of hotspots, but it is not possible to add alternative text to the hotspot in order to provide an alternative to server side image maps. The product does not generate PDF content containing tables with two or more logical levels of row or column headers. Authored Content (EPUB): Authors can provide appropriate semantics for content elements, with the following exceptions: The product can create client-side image map behavior in EPUB documents in the form of hotspots, but it is not possible to add alternative text to the hotspot in order to provide an alternative to server-side image maps. EPUB documents published by the product can include the use of column headers but not row headers. However, authors can add row headers to the XHTML in the uncompressed Authored Content (EPUB). The product publishes EPUB documents with proper name, role and value information for tables and links. Headings are also supported, but some headings are visually implied and do not have the proper role applied. EPUB semantics are also being applied by using the type attribute, but they are referencing a namespace URL that is invalid. This may prevent the EPUB semantics from being applied and announced by screen readers. Selection in tracks can only be determined visually. While the order of effects placement will impact audio, the effects order has no programmatic hierarchy established.
