Hi all



What is the current best practice for alerting screen reader users that a
link points to either a same page or an external page in a pdf? My thinking
is that it would be with an icon, but how would that icon be labeled?



Thanks in anticipation



Cheers



Barry

*All* links go to the same page or an external page. There is no need to inform users of this. And there is no accessibility requirement that screen reader users be informed that a link takes the user somewhere – that's what links do.
