Create accessible content

Adobe software products and technologies enable you to create, manage, and deliver accessible, visually rich content that can be accessed virtually anywhere, anytime, and by anyone.

Author with accessibility in mind

Creating an accessible electronic document requires more than specialized authoring tools. Adobe encourages document authors to begin with accessibility in mind, defining document structure and adding navigational aids and explanatory information during the authoring process. Assistive technologies such as screen readers rely on this computer-based information to provide the cues a person with disabilities needs to read and navigate a page easily.
