How Do You Make Documents Accessible?

Follow the accessibility best practices.

Build document structure:

To make documents easier for screen readers to process correctly, documents should be structured with heading hierarchies; table headings, rows, and identified columns; and to use lists when possible.

Add alternative text:

Add alternative text (Alt Text) to accompany images, which are a quick description of an image. Images that do not require Alt Text are those that are purely decorative.

Foxit’s ADA Compliance:

The US Department of Justice published the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design to ensure that all electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities.
