You\u2019ll often see them used for reports, forms, brochures, and policies, making them a reliable way to publish information online.<\/p><p>That said, PDFs can sometimes create barriers for people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, or who interact with content in different ways. When documents aren\u2019t set up with accessibility in mind, important information can become harder to access for some people, which can limit who\u2019s able to use it fully.<\/p><p>There are also legal expectations around accessible content in many contexts, so overlooking this area can lead to compliance issues.

It is important to choose a font that is clear, legible, and can be resized without losing clarity. Decorative fonts (such as those mimicking handwriting) and those with tightly packed characters can be hard to read for users with visual and cognitive impairments. Clear, simple fonts will also be easier to read by all users, ensuring that the information can be communicated in an efficient manner. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-55e6291 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"55e6291\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-34a066f\" data-id=\"34a066f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d69d17c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d69d17c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Implement accessible colour contrasts<\/h3><p>Insufficient <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/news\/colour-contrast-accessibility\/\">colour contrast<\/a> is another commonly overlooked element of online design.
