Thank you very much! I was looking at the ISO but it's great to have it confirmed I'm looking in the right area. If you could please update a link on WebAim then I'd much appreciate it. I'll check out the other links you shared in the meantime. Thank you again!
regards,
Maya

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] accessibility guidelines/normative for PDF?
For PDF documents the international standard is ISO 14289 or PDF/UA. As this standard is implemented and added to legislation (for example Section 508 Refresh), those of us with disabilities will have a consistent experience when accessing an accessible tagged PDF document. I think it will also help with the tools that let us add Tags to untagged documents and even the OCR within applications that we can open PDF documents in.
Here are some resources to help with implementation:
PDF in a Nutshell: http://www.pdfa.org/2013/06/pdfua-in-a-nutshell/
Structure Elements Best Practices Guide for PDF/UA (draft version) http://www.pdfa.org/2015/12/announcing-the-structure-elements-best-practice-guide-0-1/
The Matterhorn Protocol (PDF) http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/MatterhornProtocol_1-02.pdf
PDF/UA Reference Suite: http://www.pdfa.org/publication/pdfua-reference-suite/
I just tried to go to the PDF/UA technical Implementation Guide on the AIIM site but the page has been removed/moved so am contacting Duff to see what the correct address is now.
Cheers, Karen

Subject: [WebAIM] accessibility guidelines/normative for PDF?
Hi all,
I'm being asked to what guidelines PDF's should comply in order to ensure they are accessible. Specifically, someone is asking if ISO 14289-1:2014<http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumberd599&ICS15&ICS2$0&ICS30> is the only relevant guideline or if there's more. Could anyone please advise?
Thank you!
Maya
