Producing Accessible PDFs

Type:

A PDF is considered accessible if it can be viewed, read, and interacted with by all users, including those who rely on assistive technology.  There are many paths to create an accessible PDF, with the recommended practice being to optimize the source document for accessibility. Testing and remediating the PDF requires Adobe Acrobat and PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC). Remediating PDFs without access to the source document typically requires a moderate to advanced level of knowledge.
