Accessibility is not compliance. Accessibility is not a one-and-done project. The only way to make your content and products accessible is to start trying, build it into your workflows and culture, and keep improving.

I love that our new sustainability point is making waves in relation to accessibility and #PDFs. The use of PDFs has been a long and hard fight, and one that, as yet, we haven't won. Maybe this is the tipping point? PDFless content = #accessibility + #Sustainability
Eine Anforderung:
„use the HTML publishing format instead of PDFs - along with accessibility issues, PDFs can use more energy as they’re more likely to take longer to load and to use“
