US Section 508 question

Howdy,

I’m totally curious about something.

Recently I tagged a document in PDF that was a scan from 1998. I’m wondering if technically it didn’t need to be Section 508 compliant, since the document was created prior to June 25, 2001. However, it (most likely) was created as a PDF after June 25, 2001, though.

It wasn’t a big deal to make it accessible. I’m really just curious about this, as it was the first time this has come up.

Thanks,

Jon Metz
