Summary
What’s the first step in developing a digital document accessibility program that works for your organization and your users? Learn what decisions you need to make and how to implement those choices to ensure widespread digital document accessibility now and into the future.
Abstract
Digital document accessibility isn’t something done on the fly. It takes forethought, planning and an understanding of the processes involved, not to mention an eye on what lies ahead for accessibility in the future. Your path to digital document accessibility depends on both your organization’s needs and those of your users. It also depends on the ever-changing regulatory environment. In making digital documents accessible to those with visual impairments or language barriers, you have three big choices: remediation, conversion or replacement. There’s no right answer to these questions and the other decisions you’ll face once you decide if you’ll remediate, convert or replace your documents. Join the digital document accessibility experts from Equidox by Onix for real-world advice about how to “slay the accessibility dragon” and make your digital documents available to all today and into the future. It’s not just the law. It’s the right thing to do.
