The PDF is not accessible #302

I never replied to the comment on the original thread so I will comment here. I tried to find someone to work on this for us but it did not work out. Adobe Acrobat has an accessibility check tool built in that allows users to check for document accessibility. When I run the tool on the generated PDF, it fails in a few different areas. I think the biggest issues are that there is no way to add alternate text to images and none of the content is tagged/labeled. If I use NVDA screen reader, none of the content is picked up.

I was wondering if Moodle had any plans to address this issue? We are also in need of accessible PDF generation. Thank you.

You would have to create a tracker.moodle.org ticket and raise the issue before they would look at it. You should also while doing that create a forum post and get people to vote on the issue you created to give it some attention. This is not the correct location to discuss what Moodle HQ would do as this is an external plugin that HQ do not maintain (also this plugin just uses a library that ships with core, ideally this would need to be fixed in core, not this plugin).

Just to clarify this, is the issue that the (core) PDF Library that Moodle uses' doesn't support this, and so this plugin can't be fixed until that does?

I think the issue that we've identified this plugin doesn't provide a mechanism to enter alt-text or other "accessible" elements in it's own UI (which then of course need to get passed on to the PDF library itself for rendering/encoing/writing)

Sure. That may be true. Feel free to create a PR. :)
