PDF/UA (Portable Document Format/Universal Accessibility)

PDF/UA (Portable Document Format/Universal Accessibility) is a standard ensuring PDFs are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. It defines how PDFs should be created and structured so that screen readers and other assistive technologies can interpret the content accurately. This includes proper tagging, logical reading order, and alternative text for images. The goal is to make digital documents universally usable, ensuring that all users can access and understand the information regardless of their abilities. PDF/UA helps organizations meet accessibility laws and promote inclusive communication.
