Accessibility means making sure your content is available to as many people as possible. When you make your PDFs accessible, it means adding tags, bookmarks, alt text, and other information that makes the files readable to users of assistive technology. It's now much easier to use Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign to create valid, accessible PDF files.
