What does file accessibility mean?
Standard PDF, PPT, and Excel files are usually not accessible. This means that people with disabilities using assistive technologies like screen-readers cannot correctly read them and comprehend the content. Here’s what usually goes into making files and documents accessible:
Graphics and icons should be textually described
Interactive elements should be keyboard navigable
Forms fields should be labeled and tagged properly
Textual content should be hierarchically structured
Table content should be properly structured
