Why not only use native Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe InDesign,...
to create Accessible PDF?

These popular tools to create and edit digital documents,
including to export a final document as "Accessible PDF", don't test for
compliance with the ISO Standard PDF/UA for Universal Accessibility!

Thus the exported PDF file does not comply with
the Swedish Act on Access to Digital Public Services for Everyone,
nor the EU Web Accessibility Directive!

More specialized tools are needed (to avoid legal risks)
in the form of separate standalone tools or as plugins to
Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe InDesign.
