PDF Accessibility
PDF accessibility is the practice of producing PDF documents that meet PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1) — through tagged structure, proper reading order, alt text on images, accessible form fields and bookmarks — making the document usable by screen readers and other assistive technologies.
About PDF Accessibility
Required by Section 508 (chapter 504), ADA, EAA (audiobooks/EPUB), and the WAD. Untagged PDFs are the single most-cited document failure in public-sector audits.
