Re: Semantics for Indicating Accessible Version of Files

I commiserate, because I see the same thing coming down the road for my agency.

How about "signed copy" (or "as submitted," if it's something your agency received) and "accessible version"?

If it's a page that lists many such files, how about a properly marked up table, with the two versions in separate columns?

You know what would be a really great answer? To be able to marry the image layer of one PDF with the text layer of another. That way the accessible text layer could be added to the signed image layer, and we could post just one file. But I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what it would entail to make that possible.

How about picture of document and document? <grin/>
