CriticalDocument title must not be blank. WCAG 2.0 A F25 Section 508 (2017) A F25

CriticalFigures and images in PDF documents should have non blank ALT text, except for decorative images which should be marked as artifacts. WCAG 2.0 A F65 Section 508 (2017) A F65
Each image should have an ALT attribute describing the picture, which screen readers can read aloud. See PDF Techniques for WCAG: Text Alternatives.

CriticalIdentify row and column headers in data tables using th elements, and mark layout tables with role=presentation. WCAG 2.0 A F91 Section 508 (2017) A F91
Data tables allow screen reader users to understand column and row relationships. Layout tables read cells as a series of unrelated paragraphs with no tabular structure. Without TH or ROLE, screen readers apply heuristics to decide whether a table is a layout table or data table. These heuristics vary greatly between screen readers, and are affected by browser being used, window size, and font size (so the outcome is very unpredictable without TH or ROLE). If a data table has headers marked up using TD, then change these to TH. If a data table has no headers, add TH elements describing each row and/or column. If the table is only used for layout add role='presentation' to the TABLE element.

Impact on users:

  • JAWS Reading: Treats tables without TH and ROLE as layout tables if the table contains cells above or below certain pixel sizes. This measurement is affected by browser window size, browser font size, and the browser used.
  • NVDA Reading: Applies a 'layout table' heuristic to tables without TH and ROLE which varies depending on the browser used and on the window size in some circumstances.
  • VoiceOver Reading: Uses a sophisticated heuristic on tables without TH and ROLE, which is similar (but not identical) to the heuristic used by NVDA with Firefox.

CriticalPDFs must be tagged to be accessible by screen readers. WCAG 2.0 A 1.3.1 Section 508 (2017) A 1.3.1
Enable the 'Document structure tags' option in Word, or the 'Tagged PDF' option in OpenOffice when exporting, or use the 'Make Accessible' plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.

CriticalSome pages have the same title, so the title cannot be used to distinguish pages. WCAG 2.0 A F25 Section 508 (2017) A F25
Change the title elements so they are unique for each page.
' Resources — The Petrov Affair ' is also used on https://petrov.moadoph.gov.au/resources.html.

CriticalUse the lang attribute to identify the language of the page. WCAG 2.0 A 3.1.1 Section 508 (2017) A 3.1.1
In HTML add a lang attribute containing a language code to the html tag, and in PDF set the language using Document Properties in Acrobat. This allows screen readers to pronounce words correctly.

Very ImportantIf you set any of the colors on the body or a elements you must set all of them. WCAG 2.0 AA F24 Section 508 (2017) AA F24
In HTML the color attributes are text, bgcolor, link, alink and vlink. In CSS the attributes are color and background-color. Some users have browser defaults set to white text on a black background, so setting one color without setting the others can result in black text on a black background.
The colors used are:
color: rgb(0,0,0); uses browser default background-color: ;
color: rgb(0,0,0); uses browser default background-color: ;
color: rgb(0,0,0); uses browser default background-color: ;
color: rgb(0,0,0); uses browser default background-color: ;
color: rgb(0,0,0); uses browser default background-color: ;

ImportantAvoid specifying a new window as the target of a link with target=_blank. WCAG 2.0 AAA F22
Displaying new windows without warning can be very confusing to non-sighted and mobile users. Some screen readers and mobile devices give very little indication a new tab or window has opened. If you cannot avoid displaying a new window, insert a warning into the link text like the following: "opens in a new window".
