Make PDF media UA/508-compliant #12

Closed HalosGhost closed 5 years ago

HalosGhost commented 6 years ago

My resume and CV are (relatively speaking), pretty simple PDF files. They are generated from modern cv.

In my attempt to make my website as accessible as possible, I would love for these PDFs to be accessible as well. Unfortunately, it seems the only not-sketchy accessibility validator for PDFs is Adobe Acrobat Pro. In fact, the official government guides for testing accessibility of PDFs are walkthroughs using Adobe Acrobat.

I was hoping that, through the use of accsupp, I could, perhaps quite manually, meet all the criteria. However, it seems that accsupp only gives the ability to add replacement text, and not things such as “tags” which are necessary to fully pass these accessibility tests.

This issue will serve as a placeholder while I continue investigating how best to accomplish this accessibility. (Note: any advice or guidance on how to better accomplish this goal are welcome!)

I am closing this for now as there has not seemed to be a lot of traction on the PDF AI. If ever there is, or if there are options for making my PDF assets more accessible, I will reopen this and continue exploring these options.
