Hi, would expect that SC 1.4.4 resize text would be met by PDF viewers if you could use the zoom feature in the viewer to increase text size up to 200% of the default -- even with scrolling in two directions.

For SC 1.4.10 I would imagine the reflow feature of the PDF specification would be used. This feature can be seen in Adobe Acrobat and in VIP Reader although it is not viewer specific feature.

Hi all,

Would you please give me a hint about the following?


I have a PDF on the website with size of A4 and I am not able toenlarge to 200 % on my mobile. WCAG 1.4.4 says that text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality.


How can a pdf document can conform with WCAG 1.4.4. (and 1.4.10, 1.4.12
etc) ?


Regards,

Zsolt Edelényi
