Documents remain one of the most common barriers on municipal websites, yet they are also one of the most fixable with the right approach.
This session will walk through the fundamentals of accessible PDF structure, tagging, reading order and common remediation pitfalls, with clear guidance you can apply immediately.
We will also share information on CivicPlus® tools that support local governments in making documents accessible at scale as part of a broader Web Accessibility strategy.
Whether you manage website content, publish public notices, or oversee compliance efforts, you will leave with practical knowledge to reduce risk, improve usability for residents and strengthen your accessibility program.
