A PDF must include specific structural information, such as headings, reading order, table markup, and alternative text for images to be usable by assistive technology. When this information is missing or incorrect, users may experience significant barriers to reading the PDF, even if the content is visually clear. That is why PDFs always require additional checks and remediation work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following PDF Decision Trees, one faculty-focused and one staff-focused, provide step-by-step guidance to help you make informed choices about using PDFs or considering an alternative option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-dark-purple-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/accesstech\/documents\/pdf-decision-trees\/\">Access the New Role-based Decision Trees<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Other resources and information about meeting the Title II of the ADA requirement by April 24, 2027:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For faculty: <a href=\"https:\/\/teaching.washington.edu\/inclusive-accessible\/making-course-materials-accessible\/\">Making course materials accessible<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be a catalyst for change: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/accessibility\/2025\/07\/29\/join-digital-accessibility-liaisons\/\">Become a Digital Accessibility Liaison!<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access resources and training: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/accessibility\/digital\/\">Accessibility @UW<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/ada\/guidance-resources\/new-final-rule-on-web-accessibility\/about-the-final-rule\/\">ADA rule on digital accessibility<\/a>.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coming up Thursday, September 17, <strong>Fix your Content Day<\/strong>!
