Good afternoon, First, I respect your honesty about being new to compliance requirements. second, My question is this. Does that PDF file help the general public understand you, access a service, or participate in anything related to you? Speaking personally, the question should not be, will we get in trouble if we do not provide this information equal to others. Instead, the question should be, how can we insure anyone wanting to connect with us, experience a service with us, or make a decision about us can do this effortlessly? Much of the time what benefits those who might complain about you benefits everyone in your audience. Make the pdf inclusive, or better still provide the information in more then just the pdf format. does that make sense?

Does a downloadable PDF report on a website need to meet the same WCAG 2.1 requirements as the website itself or does a PDF not fall under a good, service, activity, or privilege? Specifically a PDF annual report. I am just curious if legal action could be taken against a company for not providing ada complaint pdfs. I could not find anything on W3 that claims a pdf could be seen as an extension of a website and therefore needs to be compliant. Again, my apologies for the bad phrasing. I am very very new to ADA compliance and really have no idea what I am talking about! Thanks! > >
