Publishing Documents

Documents are a great resource for providing content to users but only if they are accessible to all users. An accessible document contains consistent structure and design, includes alternative text descriptions for images, graphics, charts, and other forms of media, and verifies accessibility through an accessibility checker, is distributed to readers using accessible platforms.

This guide provides step by step procedures to ensure your documents are created, distributed, and maintained with accessibility in mind using Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Pro.

The recommendations here can apply to other word processing platforms, such as Google Docs, but the tips and tools are specific to Microsoft Word and to Adobe Acrobat Pro.
