SSRS reports and accessibility
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am creating reports using ssrs many of which will be internal but some will for the public. And if the report is exported as a .pdf for public download then that .pdf must be accessible. Before we can post any pdfs on our web site we use the full version of Adobe to check for accessibility. So my question is are there settings or things to do in SSRS so that the pdf that is generated when the report is exported has little to no accessibility issues?
I've looked at a couple different reports and whether a simple one table report or a report of three tables within a rectangle the accessibility issues are numerous from alt text to table list and heading problems.
My company has had a lawsuit regarding accessibility of documents on our web site so it is of the utmost importance that we create reports that are accessibility compliant. Thanks for any guidance with this.

Interesting question. I was going to put this in the comment section but it was too long. It's not a direct answer to your question but might help.
Since SSRS is from Microsoft, I would hope that it would generate accessible PDF. If you edit a Word document and "save as" to PDF, it creates a pretty decent accessible pdf. And by "accessible PDF", I'm talking about a "tagged pdf". Since Word does a decent job, and SSRS is by the same company, hopefully SSRS can do a decent job too.
To start with, is a tagged PDF generated from SSRS? If not, then you're in worse shape than I thought. I'm guessing you at least have a tagged PDF otherwise the Adobe checker wouldn't work.
In using the Adobe checker, I assume you're using Tools > Accessibility > Full Check? And then you look at the checker results in the left navigation panel?
You can also look at the "Matterhorn Protocol", which lists PDF failures for accessibility. I'm guessing that the Adobe checker is using the Matterhorn list.

Thanks for your feedback! After some researching it seems our best bet for maximum accessibility will be to export as mhtml instead of .pdf.
