If you don't know much about accessibility, you should probably read up on
that - others in this list would be best to point you in the right direction
for resources.

You should then run a report page through an accessibility checker to see
how close/far from accessibility the reports are (bad English, I'll get
gooder with practice). Understanding accessibility terms will help you
understand the results of the accessibility reports.

In my limited experience with what we do at work, the report part of the
document is embedded into a template (ie, a common header, navbar and
footer). Ensure that the template is accessible also.

You could also post a link to a report and we may be able to help you
directly.

Subject: Requirements for 508 Compliance for Crystal Reports



My client's .NET based web application generates reports using Crystal
Reports 9.0. Reports are viewable online, and can be printed.



I am unclear by reading the Section 508 standards what the requirement is
for making these reports accessible.



Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
