Der moderne Kunde möchte die für ihn relevanten Informationen auf allen Endgeräten auch unterwegs zur Verfügung haben - egal ob auf dem Smartphone, dem Laptop oder dem Tablet. Dies stellt Unternehmen jedoch vor die Herausforderung, die Inhalte mobil aufzubereiten und barrierefrei darzustellen.
The ISO standard 14289-1, better known as PDF/UA, describes the requirements for universally accessible PDF documents.
PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) was formalized in July 2012 as the ISO 14289-1 standard and is the designation for a variety of PDF specifically designed to create accessible PDF documents.
This standard provides a uniform description of the requirements that a PDF document must satisfy, and which also fulfills the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. The goal is to make PDF documents usable with the same degree of ease and quality for individuals with disabilities as they are for those without disabilities. In Germany, the Equal Rights for Disabled Persons Act (BGG) specifically stipulates that federal agencies must ensure web accessibility for their websites and the services that these sites offer.
