Our Commitment to Accessibility

PDF World is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to information and functionality for all users.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone. Our efforts include:

Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using only a keyboard
Screen reader compatibility: Proper semantic HTML and ARIA labels for assistive technologies
Color contrast: Sufficient contrast ratios between text and background colors
Responsive design: Content adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels
Alternative text: Descriptive alt text for all meaningful images
