Accessible Documents

Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents on the city’s website that are accessible to people who use screen reading software.

The website also contains many Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files, which the firm is working to optimize for accessibility. According to Adobe, Acrobat Reader DC, which anyone can download free of charge, contains many capabilities specifically designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to read PDF files, including those not yet optimized for accessibility. Adobe states, “All versions of Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, Acrobat Standard DC and Acrobat Pro DC provide support for the accessible reading of PDF files by persons with disabilities.” Adobe states that the software leverages accessibility functions built into Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems and allows adjustment of user preferences to optimize the reading experience for a variety of disabilities.
