Accessibility in PDF's: fixing the document problem
Event types
- Social Housing
Summary
Session 3/5 in the VerseOne Accessibility series
Tuesday 6th April | 11:00 - 11:45 AM
Tailored specifically for Housing comms, digital, marketing, and web teams.
PDF's may look fine to you, but can a patient using a screen reader or reading it using the zoom on their phone actually use it?
In this live session, we'll focus on how information is shared using PDFs, how files are presented on your site, and how each one affects the residents and community trying to use your services.
What we'll cover
- Accessible documents: What makes a document usable for people relying on screen readers and other assistive technology?
- Presenting files on your site: How the way you link to and label files affects whether people can find and open the right one.
- Layout: How the structure of a document or page affects how easily people can follow the information.
- Sharing information: When a PDF is the right choice, and when the information would work better as a web page.
Who this session is for
This masterclass is designed specifically for public sector professionals, including:
- Communications Managers & Officers

Who's running it
VerseOne has deployed thousands of digital solutions and spent 20+ years working hand-in-hand with the NHS and housing associations.
This session has been created based entirely on the real-world issues, accessibility barriers and user feedback we see working with 50+ housing partners.
If people can't open it, they can't use it.
Come find out what your documents look like to the people relying on them.
