Designing with Accessibility in Mind from the start!
Today on Chax Chat, we talk about designing with accessibility in mind. Creating an accessibility-first mindset is essential to the success of creating documents that maximize accessibility from the start and avoid the time drain of accessibility at the end or redoing the work when the inevitable last-minute change comes. Join Chad Chelius and Dax Castro as they break down:
• Designing accessible trifolds
• Implementing accessible QR codes
• Captions
• Table of Contents, and;
• Reasons to avoid Drop Caps

UNHCR Ethical Communications Guidelines report
Просмотров 204Год назад
It is so important when we produce reports on accessibility, inclusion and access to information that we ensure our reports and documents are accessible themselves. We MUST walk the walk when it comes to distributing accessible information. I am including a video here of my review of the document AND I have an accessible version of the document available for UNHCR should they want it.

    Hi there, thanks for video. I applied it easily due to the good explanation. However is there a way to apply the structure on similar PDFs. I have a complex table 1 page long, which repeats 500+ times with other numbers. Only the numbers change, everything else in the table stays the same.

    Dax -- first, thanks for this. Super useful information. I use it ALL the time. However, I wonder how necessary this is in terms of the final disabled user experience. This comes up a lot, and often, it comes up in docs with LOTs of multi-line links. I worry that it might be a bit of a waste of time if I'm manually fixing every single one. Any thoughts?

      We actually talked about that very specific thing in our podcast a few months ago and came to the conclusion. That while it is definitely not a good user. Experience for someone to hear the link twice and have to skip twice. It is not considered a significant barrier, but does violate info and relationships in that theirs is supposed to be one link and not 2 and careful attention has to be paid if someone were to try to inspect that U. R. L Based on the text that was the hyperlink and not the actual link itself that it might give them a false result

    I seem to remember hearing that IDs (of all kinds) have to be unique within a document. Does that apply to tables ? If so if you have more than one page of complex tables in a PDF this feature may need some touch up to the IDs. Still a great feature and easy to tag complex tables this way.

    • @PDFA
      @PDFA Год назад

      The IDs are automatically generates in sequence and only need to be unique to that table. Acrobat handles multiple tables with Cell IDs just fine. There are MCIDs too. Those do have to be completely unique across the whole doc.

    Thanks for your great demonstration. I have a question - instead of tagging the actual text in a cell “red. 3” would it be possible to tag it “3. Footnote” That would eliminate the color accessibility problem and Eliminate the ugly aesthetics of a colored cell. Is it possible and ok practise to do it in that way?

      Since this video was released Adobe has changed the way it evaluates tables. This technique will pass PAC but not Acrobat. So yeah, not really a workable solution. Now you have to "Edit PDF" then add the text, create the tag and insert it into the TH. You can color it the same as the background to keep the visual presentation. But yeah. It is a process.

    • @PDFA
      @PDFA 2 года назад

      Not unless you are trying to meet WCAG AAA. Running header and footer information should be artifacted unless maybe at first use if the header has meaningful info. Acrobat keeps track of page numbers so the user doesn't have to hear it as they are reading through content. Great question and thanks for subscribing!

    • @PDFA
      @PDFA 2 года назад

      You are correct. If you are a MAC user and remediating documents, testing on a PC with NVDA or JAWS should be part of your workflow. You can run Parallels (PC Emulator) but I hear there are some keyboard shortcut issues that require workarounds. Someone asked in our PDF Accessibility Facebook group about that as well. Sadly, the only option for MAC is Apple Voice Over. However there is a new screen reader for Mobile called AD Reader that will be available for MAC in the next month or so.
