Making PDFs Inclusive
A standard image-based PDF is invisible to a blind person using a screen reader.
Key Steps for Accessibility
- OCR: Ensure there is selectable text, not just images of text.
- Alt Text: Add descriptions to images.
- Tags: Define headers ($ H1, H2 $) so the reader can navigate structure.
- Contrast: Ensure text colors are high contrast against the background.
Inclusive design benefits everyone, not just those with disabilities.
