As with any written documentation, PDF files that will be published to County web pages must first be made accessible.

If receiving content from 3rd party vendors, it is recommended you insist to those vendors that they provide the document with remediation already completed. 

Avoid documents containing scanned text as they are extremely difficult to remediate for accessibility.

Where necessary, the instructions will specify individual versions. However, whenever possible, the instructions have been generalized to accommodate various versions.

Ideally, the file will have been made accessible when it was originally created, whether it was created in Microsoft® Word® or Adobe® InDesign®.

The accessibility of a PDF file must be verified prior to publishing to the Internet or Intranet, and, if necessary, any remaining issues will need to be remediated.
