Organizations Make Content Accessible for Persons With Disabilities


LAKEWOOD, Ohio, July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. Many organizations are working to make their web content accessible to this audience by conforming to WCAG 2.0 AA  — the W3C's standard for web accessibility. But WCAG 2.0 AA requires organizations to make some difficult decisions, including whether to remediate PDFs or migrate the files to HTML.
