First, what is Document Accessibility?
Document accessibility refers to the practice of making sure that documents, such as PDFs, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations, are usable by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. This includes people who are blind or have low vision, who are colorblind, or who have cognitive or mobility limitations. Ensuring that a document is accessible can help improve its usability and make it more inclusive for all users.
The top 5 characteristics of an accessible document include:
