Why accessibility matters

PDF accessibility is a product requirement, not a polish step.

Salesforce documents often become letters, notices, reports, forms, contracts, packets, and public-facing communications. If those PDFs are not accessible, teams can face usability barriers, remediation work, legal exposure, and inconsistent user experiences.

Reduce manual PDF remediation work
Create documents that are easier to use with assistive technology
Support accessibility expectations across public, nonprofit, education, and enterprise teams
Improve consistency across recurring Salesforce-generated documents
Mitigate risk from inaccessible documents and forms

Accessibility coverage
