• Follow the accessibility guidelines to create a well-structured source document.
• When converting to PDF ensure the option with the words "tagged" and "accessibility" is ticked. (Wording varies with versions).
• Run the full accessibility checker in Acrobat Professional.
• Make suggested changes in your source document and reconvert and recheck it.
• Keep your source document available for braille transcription.
• If possible make your information for download available in more than PDF format, e.g. in Word; as a Webpage (HTML).
• Offer alternative formats for all your publications. Not everyone has access to screen-reading or braille transcription software.
