Libraries commonly use PDFs (Portable Document Format) on websites for downloadable flyers, policy documents, public meeting records, or fillable forms. PDFs also show up in collections or database records. But this ubiquitous format is often inaccessible to screen readers or other assistive technology. We’ll walk through some handy remediation tools, and talk about alternatives that are accessible to everyone.
This installment is part of a State Library monthly series about online accessibility, ahead of a new U.S. federal rule requiring local government websites to meet accessibility standards. Registration is required.
