    Creating accessible PDF documents in 2024 involves a few key steps to ensure usability for all users. Start by using software like Adobe Acrobat that supports accessibility features. Structure your document with headings, lists, and tags to facilitate navigation by screen readers.

Add alternative text descriptions for all images to assist users with visual impairments. Choose fonts that are easy to read and ensure high contrast between text and background for better visibility. Use accessibility checkers within your software to identify and fix potential issues. Don't forget to include essential metadata like the document title, author, and keywords.

    To ensure your PDF is accessible in 2024, use proper tagging and structure for headings, lists, and tables. Add descriptive alt text for images, make sure text is selectable rather than scanned images, and create accessible forms with clear labels. Choose readable fonts with high contrast and set up document properties like title and language. Use accessibility tools to check for issues and, if possible, test with real users to make sure your document meets their needs.
