What Is an Accessible PDF?

An accessible PDF preserves the document’s visual design while also providing programmatic structure and information that people using assistive technology can perceive and operate.

Short answer

An accessible PDF preserves the document’s visual design while also providing programmatic structure and information that people using assistive technology can perceive and operate.

What this means

Accessibility usually involves more than adding tags. Reading order, headings, lists, meaningful alternative text, table structure, language, form labels, link purpose, and visual design all contribute to a usable result.

Structure

Semantic tags identify what content means.

Navigation

Logical reading order and headings help users move through content.

Content alternatives

Meaningful non-text information has an equivalent representation.
