Accessible Digital Documents
From regulation to real-world practice: Ensuring accessible PDFs in the EU
Session description
With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in effect, accessible PDF documents are becoming a legal and practical necessity across both public and private sector.
This keynote highlights the regulatory landscape in Germany and the EU, with a focus on the real-world requirements for making digital documents accessible. Drawing from the work of Germany’s Federal Monitoring Agency for Accessibility of Information Technology (BFIT-Bund), the talk explores common issues found in PDFs, the limits of automated testing, and the critical role of manual checks.
Whether you’re producing or auditing documents, this session offers practical insights into achieving digital accessibility.
