Introduction

PDF Accessibility

A document or application is accessible if it can be used by people with disabilities—such as mobility

impairments, blindness, and low vision—and not just by people who can see well and use a mouse.

Accessibility features in Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) make

it easier for people with disabilities to use PDF documents and forms, with or without the aid of assistive

software and devices such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and braille printers.

Making PDFs accessible tends to benefit all users. For example, the underlying document structure that

makes it possible for a screen reader to properly read a PDF out loud also makes it possible for a mobile

device to correctly reflow and display the document on a small screen. Similarly, the preset tab order of an

accessible PDF form helps all users—not just users with mobility impairments—fill the form more easily.

Each PDF File is Different

Not all PDFs are the same. PDF files are created in a variety of ways, from a variety of applications, and for a

variety of purposes. In addition to applying the proper accessibility enhancements to PDF documents,

achieving your accessibility goals for an individual PDF file requires understanding the nature of the PDF

and the uses for which it is intended.

Using this guide, you will learn how to assess existing PDF files for certain characteristics which influence

their accessibility. The order in which this assessment is conducted is important. By following these

procedures in the recommended order, users can efficiently proceed through the analysis of a PDF file in a

systematic fashion. Systematically ruling out or confirming certain characteristics which a PDF file may

possess will guide you to the most appropriate next step for making an individual PDF accessible (See

“Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Accessibility Repair Workflow” on page 5).

This guide also discusses techniques for converting source files to accessible PDF. Using the Adobe

PDFMaker with Microsoft Word as an example, this guide provides best practices for designing your source

document with accessibility in mind so that the original document can be efficiently transformed into an

accessible PDF version (See “Creating Accessible PDF Files Using Authoring Applications” on page 53).

Note: These Best Practices techniques assume the user has access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 or

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows. Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 9

Standard do not have the complete set of tools needed to create and validate PDF

documents for accessibility.

Two Workflows for Creating Accessible PDF Files

The PDF format is a destination file format. PDF files are typically created in some other application. What

this means is that the author who is concerned with PDF accessibility will be confronted with one of two

situations:

• Individuals working with an existing PDF file will want to know how to edit/update it to be

an accessible PDF file.

• Authors will want to know how to use some other software application, such as a word processing

or desktop publishing application, to generate an accessible PDF file from that application if

possible.

Making an Existing PDF File Accessible

“Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Accessibility Repair Workflow” on page5 provides a step-by-step approach for

analyzing PDF files and making them accessible based upon that analysis.

Generating Accessible PDF Files from Authoring Applications

“Creating Accessible PDF Files Using Authoring Applications” on page53 provides an example using

Microsoft Word of how to use Acrobat’s PDFMaker to make an accessible PDF files from a word processing

application.

Even if you generate an accessible PDF file from an authoring application, you should then follow the steps

in “Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Accessibility Repair Workflow” on page5 in order to identify any items that may

have been missed in the initial conversion or to add PDF accessibility features that are not provided by the

authoring tool.

Characteristics of Accessible PDF files

The Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is the native file format of the Adobe® Acrobat® family of

products. The goal of these products is to enable users to exchange and view electronic documents easily and

reliably, independently of the environment in which they were created. PDF relies on the same imaging

model as the PostScript® page description language to describe text and graphics in a device-independent

and resolution-independent manner. To improve performance for interactive viewing, PDF defines a more

structured format than that used by most PostScript language programs. PDF also includes objects, such as

annotations and hypertext links, that are not part of the page itself but are useful for interactive viewing and

document interchange.

Accessible PDFs have the following characteristics:

Searchable text

A document that consists of scanned images of text is inherently inaccessible because the content of the

document is a graphic representing the letters on the page, not searchable text. Assistive software cannot

read or extract the words in a graphic representation, users cannot select or edit the text, and you cannot

manipulate the PDF for accessibility. You must convert the scanned images of text to searchable text using

optical character recognition (OCR) before you can use other accessibility features with the document (See

“Step 2: Determine if the PDF is a Scanned Document” on page 5).

Fonts that allow characters to be extracted to text

The fonts in an accessible PDF must contain enough information for Acrobat to correctly extract all of the

characters to text for purposes other than displaying text on the screen. Acrobat extracts characters to

Unicode text when you read a PDF with a screen reader or the Read Out Loud tool, or when you save as text

for a braille printer. This extraction fails if Acrobat cannot determine how to map the font to Unicode

characters.

Interactive form fields

Some PDFs contain forms that a person is to fill out using a computer. To be accessible, form fields must be

interactive—meaning that a user must be able to enter values into the form fields (See “Step 3: Add

Interactive Features: Form Fields and Buttons” on page 8). Interactive PDF forms also have a defined tab

order allowing users of assistive technology to use the tab key in order to progress from one form field or

interactive control in a logical manner.

Other Features: Buttons, hyperlinks, and navigational aids

Navigational aids in a PDF—such as links, bookmarks, headings, a table of contents, and a preset tab order

for form fields—assist all users in using the document without having to read through the entire document,

word by word. Bookmarks are especially useful and can be created from document headings. Many of these

aids can be accessed using the keyboard without relying on the mouse (See “Step 3: Add Interactive

Features: Form Fields and Buttons” on page 8). and (See “Step 4: Add Other Accessibility Features” on

page 16)..
