Have you ever wondered if your PDF documents are accessible to everyone?
The PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) standard ensures that your files can be read by everyone, including people with disabilities.
By following the PDF/UA guidelines, you can create documents that are compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
What is PDF/UA?
PDF/UA is an international standard(ISO 14289) designed to make PDF documents accessible to all users, regardless of ability.
This includes people with visual impairments, motor or cognitive challenges. By implementing PDF/UA, you can make your documents easier to navigate and understand.
Benefits of PDF/UA:
- Inclusion: Creates equal access to information for all users.
- Legal compliance: Helps meet legal requirements for digital accessibility.
- Standards: Complies with international guidelines and key principles from WCAG.
- Better user experience: Improves the readability and navigation of your documents.
Here's how to get started:
Get an overview of all your documents and accessibility issues with a tool like Aliro Finder.
Make a plan for how you will handle all the documents that are not available in line with PDF/UA.
Follow guidelines for proper structuring, such as using headings, alternative text for images and correct reading order.
Do it yourself with the right software or get the job done by Aliro Docs, for example.
Replace the unavailable documents with the new PDF/UA versions.
By implementing PDF/UA, we can all contribute to a more inclusive digital world.
Aliro Dictionary is our own little dictionary of relevant web accessibility concepts and terminologies in PDF format.
Here we try to describe the terms used in accessibility and documents to increase understanding and awareness.
Together we can improve the quality of life for people with visual impairments or disabilities and contribute to a fully inclusive digitalized society now and in the future.
