Accessible PDF

We recommend that users download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat to view Adobe PDF files. Please note some of our older archived Adobe PDF files may not be completely accessible when using screen readers‚ as PDF files are only accessible when they have specifically been made to be so.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 software provides a number of capabilities that improve access for disabled users. This includes the following:

• Read Adobe PDF files aloud using standard operating system text–to–speech functionality
• Give greater control when using screen readers
• Evaluate the accessibility of an Adobe PDF file
• Create accessible Adobe PDF documents and forms quickly
• Reduce the size of tagged Adobe PDF files for faster download times

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 software also provides improved access for disabled users:

• Converts new and existing PDF files to tagged Adobe PDF files with the optional Make Accessible plug–in
  
• Includes tools to help troubleshoot and optimise Adobe PDF files for accessibility‚ including the accessibility checker‚ the Tags palette‚ and more
• Provides usability enhancements‚ including enhanced keyboard shortcuts‚ support for high–contrast viewing‚ and the ability to zoom in and reflow text on the screen
