Further Info

• If documents are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF), ensure that HTML or plain text versions are also available. Consider how to make any charts or graphs in the PDF file accessible.

• PDF documents are readable by blind people using access technology with the help of 'Access Adobe'. Access Adobe translates PDF into HTML or into a text email, making it readable by someone unable to access PDF in the usual way. If you offer PDF files on your site, ensure that you give the URL of each PDF file and that a link to http://access.adobe.com/ is available.
