Non-accessible content

Disproportionate burden

PDFs and other documents

  • The website design brief PDF includes form fields that are not tagged. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (info and relationships). InDesign has no native way of doing this (that we're aware of) so everytime the document is updated, it breaks any tagging, which is too much effort to fix each time. Sorry.
