Businesses need to adapt and prepare content specifically so it displays correctly on customers' mobile devices.
Today's consumers want relevant information at their fingertips, on the move, and on whichever device they may be using at any given time - be this a smartphone, laptop or tablet. This challenges companies to make content usable on mobile devices and displayable in a manner that is fully accessible.
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.
