Every PDF has layers. One you see. One assistive technology reads. If those layers don’t match, people who rely on screen readers may miss important information or receive it out of order. Learn more in our blog post, What is an accessible PDF?

Accessible PDFs make information easier to read and navigate. They allow people using assistive technology to move through a document logically and understand the content. Accessible documents help ensure everyone can access the same information. hubs.ly/Q046ZRTp0

Good marketing reaches people. Accessible marketing reaches more people. Explore how you can include more people in our blog post, Accessible Marketing: Are You Missing Millions of Americans?

Accessible marketing shows that an organization values inclusion. When businesses ensure their websites, videos, and documents are accessible, they make their message available to more people. Accessibility strengthens relationships and builds trust. hubs.ly/Q046K3dj0

@Accessio_AI Well said! We want organizations to embrace the spirit of WCAG that strives to include everyone.

@BrailleWorks When teams treat WCAG as a checklist they tend to stop at the letter of the law and miss the actual usability gaps that real users run into every day.

Many people think of WCAG as just a compliance requirement. That thinking misses the point. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines exist to include everyone and make digital information easier to use. Want to learn more? Check out our blog post, Why I Love WCAG.

Ever notice how some websites just feel easier to use? A lot of that is thanks to WCAG. These accessibility guidelines ensure digital content works for people with disabilities and makes the internet easier for everyone to use. bit.ly/4ute9s8

During World Glaucoma Week, it's important to remember that glaucoma often develops slowly, but its impact on reading can be significant. Large print documents can make everyday information more comfortable to read. That small adjustment can have a big impact.

Glaucoma affects millions of people in the US. Large print makes information easier to read by increasing font size, spacing, and clarity. World Glaucoma Week is a good reminder that accessible formats help people stay informed and engaged. bit.ly/4cxtRfc

Every braille transcription, large print document, and accessible PDF starts with our amazing team. Their talent, care, and attention to detail are Making the world a more readable place.™ We’re grateful for each and every one of them. Happy Employee Appreciation Day!

Work shouldn’t require workarounds. Employees have the right to assistive technology that lets them read, navigate, and perform their jobs independently. Learn more in our blog post, An Employee’s Right to Assistive Technology.

Employee Appreciation Day is tomorrow. One way to appreciate employees? Make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. Assistive technology helps employees with visual disabilities read, navigate systems, and complete their work independently. bit.ly/4uc0GEY

The DOJ’s ADA Title II rule reinforces what inclusive design already tells us: digital content must work for everyone. For most state and local governments, the WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline is fast approaching. Learn more in our blog , The DOJ’s Website Accessibility Rules.

The ADA Title II deadline is approaching! What does that mean for you? Most state and local governments must offer full digital accessibility by mid April. That means you should expect a fully accessible digital experience from public services very soon. hubs.ly/Q044X13J0

When accessible documents are denied, there are steps you can take. It shouldn’t take much effort to receive information in braille, large print, accessible PDF, or audio, but sometimes it does. Change happens when people refuse to accept barriers.

Accessible documents should be as normal as standard print, not something people have to argue for. If you’ve ever been told “we can’t,” remember: asking, escalating, and involving the right people can create change. Access grows when expectations rise. hubs.ly/Q044xZ9t0

It's easy, treat others the way you want to be treated. Check out our blog post, 10 Common Courtesies To Offer People Who Are Blind, for more tips.

The best courtesy? Treat people like people. Blindness doesn’t change someone’s ability to think, work, or engage. Clear communication, offering help, and simple respect matter more than perfection. hubs.ly/Q043rgm80

Think all PDFs are accessible? Think again. An accessible PDF is intentionally designed with structure and navigation in mind. Accessibility doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built into the file. Want to know more? Check out our blog post, What is an accessible PDF?

Your PDF might look fine, but can everyone use it? Accessible PDFs include clear reading order, alt text, and structural tags so assistive technologies can read them. Investing in accessibility isn’t just ethical, it’s a smart communication strategy. bit.ly/4tAwZwZ
