    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Use accessibility checkers specific to document types (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Pro).
    2. Ensure logical reading order, proper heading tags, and selectable text.
    3. Add alt text to document images and mark decorative images.
    4. Verify metadata completeness and color contrast inside documents.

    Watch for

    Non-accessible documents hinder users with visual impairments and may violate legal standards.

    Definition of done

    All PDFs and other document uploads meet accessibility criteria including logical structure and metadata.
