PDF (Portable Document Format) is a popular and commonly-used format for the delivery of visually formatted documents, typically intended for printing. PDF documents (PDFs) may be created in one of several ways, and may contain text, images, links, lists, tables, and other common document objects.
Depending on the content and construction of a PDF, it may pose significant accessibility barriers to some users, including users of assistive technology. Before you share or distribute a PDF, you should take steps to ensure that the content is accessible to all users.
