Accessible PDFs & Adobe Acrobat

Learn how to make PDFs accessible using Acrobat’s tools. Whether your PDF comes from your converted original document or from a scanned file, you can apply accessibility best practices to provide accessible PDFs.

PDF Accessibility

PDF files provide the benefit of consistent formatting across devices, browsers, or applications. For a PDF file to be accessible to assistive technology users, it should be "tagged" with structural information such as headings, paragraph text, and graphics. This ensures usability  and inclusive experiences for everyone, including people with a disability.

Adobe Acrobat is a powerful application that includes accessibility tools. You may be working with a document converted to a PDF file through a different application or with an existing PDF file that is not accessible. Let's walk through ways to make sure your PDF is accessible.
