Example: PDFs

• Provide a link to a PDF viewer plug-in (typically Acrobat Reader) on every page with PDF link. (MWAS 13)

• Inform the user when a link is PDF. (MWAS 18)

• Make every attempt to insure that PDFs are accessible. If you are unable to make a particular PDF accessible, you should:

• offer the document in alternative format
  (e.g. HTML or text – MWAS 19 )

• include a clear statement on how users can request and obtain an accessible version of the document (Web Policy)

• Probably employ a mix of strategies:

• accessible

• inaccessible with alternate

• inaccessible and alternate by request only
