Description
Links to a PDF document are present.
Unless authored with accessibility in mind, PDF documents often have accessibility issues. Additionally, PDF documents are typically viewed using a separate application or plug-in, and can thus cause confusion and navigation difficulties.
Because PDF documents may have limitations in accessibility (particularly for complex content) and require a separate program, HTML content should often be used in place of or in addition to the PDF document.
Proposed Solution
Solution: Ensure the PDF document is natively accessible. Additionally, inform the user that the link will open a PDF document by adding a more informative descriptive link text. This can help users understand what to expect when clicking the link.
An example of link text being: "Quick Start Guide (PDF)".
