Staff guidance for accessible PDFs
- Start from a tagged source document with real headings, not bold text.
- Set the document title and language before exporting.
- Give every image alt text; mark decorative images as artifacts.
- Use real tables with header rows for schedules and budgets.
- Run the built-in accessibility check in the CMS before publishing. Agendas that fail go to an Administrator for remediation.
- Prefer a web page over a PDF when the content changes often.
