Subject: Email List about PDF Accessibility?
No previous message | Next message →

Hello,
One of my company's employees has been learning about how to properly tag
PDFs, and is getting to the level where I am unable to answer their
questions.
Is there an email list or some place they can ask questions to that is
focused on PDF tagging and accessibility?
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs <http://brandonkeithbiggs.com/>;

If they use LinkedIn, there is a group called pdf/ua that can be helpful,
though I don't know how active it is these days.

The ATHEN listserv <https://athenpro.org/content/mailing-list> has quite a
bit of traffic about PDF accessibility. You will certainly find PDF
expertise on that list. List is active and open to all!

So it's not an email list, but I have found the PDF Association's "Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax", last updated June 2019, to be incredibly useful. While it's not written for PDF remediators, the examples are helpful for anyone who remediates PDFs. (Sorry- I'm on my phone so can't embed the link- so here's the not human-readable URL: https://www.pdfa.org/resource/tagged-pdf-best-practice-guide-syntax/)
