Low Vision Custom Color Settings

Some users with low vision can see content more easily if the default colors are inverted (white text on a black background), customized user styles are applied (blue text on a yellow background, for example), or a custom color scheme is used. This can be done using the operating system, with screen magnification software, or with user style sheets in a web browser. To ensure web accessibility for these users, make sure your page colors have sufficient contrast, that color is not used as the only means of conveying information or meaning, and that colors are specified for page elements (typically using CSS to at least define the page foreground and background colors).

Adobe PDF

Difficulty: Advanced

Category:

  • Content
  • Structure
  • Presentation

Adobe PDF files can be made accessible. PDF files store accessibility information for screen readers in tags. Tags are text elements that are hidden within the PDF file, but that are presented to the screen reader. You must ensure that PDF files are authored in a way that supports accessibility within these tags, and that the tags contain the full content of the PDF document. PDF accessibility is best implemented and modified using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
