PDF/UA - Universal AccessibilityWelcome to the PDF Universal Accessibility Committee. This committee is developing a specification for accessible PDF. The Committee's goal is to set standards for PDF authoring such that conforming PDF files are accessible and usable to all, including those who use assistive technology. This is not meant to be a techniques (how to) specification, but rather a set of guidelines for creating accessible PDF. The components and their structure are highly dependent upon which objects (graphics, text, multimedia, form fields) are to be present in the PDF file. The specification will describe such components and the conditions governing their inclusion in a PDF file in order to be considered accessible for a particular document type. The mechanisms for including the components in the PDF stream will be left to the discretion of the individual developer, PDF generator, or PDF viewing agent.
