Governments post an overwhelming number of PDFs on their websites.

While no one is certain of the exact figure, between 2013 and 2024, US community members downloaded 4 billion PDFs from these sites. (Digital.gov) With the ADA Title 2 Web Rule deadlines in April 2026 and 2027, many cities, counties and states are scrambling for a practical answer to make these documents accessible.

This webinar will present an honest discussion panel including:

  • City, county and state Communicators who are making headway on PDF accessibility on their agency’s websites.
  • Accessible Document Specialists who are assisting organizations with tackling this issue.

The panel will focus on:

  1. Working with numerous PDF creators 
  2. Determining when/how documents can be classified under the ADA Archive Exception
  3.  When HTML may be a better alternative to a PDF.
  4. Strategies and tools that are cost effective and yield genuine, disability-considered, accessibility results.
