For who?

3. For who?For who?
The visually-impaired
The visually-impaired browse a computer using
a screen reader installed on the machine.
The screen reader vocally transcribes the text
displayed on the screen. A Braille display is often
used as a complement to the screen reader to
facilitate understanding of tables or complex
diagrams.

4. For who?
The difficulty
Screen readers interpret the PDF
format as an image format,
meaning that it is not possible to
vocally transcribe the document.
Therefore, PDF document
accessibility via voice synthesis
requires prior processing.

5. Standards
The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is an organisation in charge
of defining standards for Web technologies. It is at the origin of digital
accessibility and the creation of recommendations: WCAG (Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines). Today, these have become the
worldwide standard for designing accessible websites and supports.
The ISO 14289-1 standard has recognised PDF/UA file accessibility
since 2012. This recognition is a major step in the gradual
generalisation of accessibility criteria for PDF files which guarantees
universal access to content.

6. Standards
These standards imply:
• Structuring of information, replicating the
intuitive reading order of a valid person in
order to help a blind person to understand
the document
• Enabling a blind person to have access to
the document’s different graphic elements
and to have an adapted vocal transcription of
them
• Favouring compatibility with the different
technical assistance systems used by the
visually-impaired

7. Benefits
• A wider audience: a document made accessible to the
disabled will be consulted by all, including by people with
visual impairments, without any concessions in terms of
graphics and ergonomics.
• One sole support required: the PDF accessibility process does
not modify the document’s visual appearance. PubliRead
intervenes solely in the background of the finalised
document. This means that there is just one document to be
distributed to all.

8. Benefits
• Better natural referencing: the use of XML tags for structuring
the document, in the same way as for a HTML page, enables
better indexing of content by search engines.
• An enhanced civic image: thanks to digital accessibility, you
participate in the promotion of sustainable development and
social responsibility. Your image and your civic responsibility
will be promoted among the general public, your employees
and your shareholders.

9. Benefits
• A certified publication: publications made accessible in
accordance with WCAG 2.0/ ISO 14289 standards are eligible
for the “e-accessibility publication” label issued by the e-
accessibility organisation. With your agreement, certified
publications will be distributed by the association’s media
library.
