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:
- Heading structure
- Alternate descriptions for images
- Proper reading order
- Logical table structure
- Well-written text that supports any included infographics

Dax continues to answer the question "Why is document accessibility so hard?".....
Many people may not realize the importance of making documents accessible, or they may not know how to create an accessible document. This lack of knowledge can lead to documents that are not properly formatted or structured, making them difficult or impossible for assistive technologies, such as screen readers and text-to-braille devices, to read and interpret.
