Hi Laurie, The starting place for information about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is the Overview page at: <https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag> Information about applying WCAG to things like PowerPoint is available from the WCAG2ICT Overview: <https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag2ict> It sounds like you have a specific question on best practice. We don't have resources to address your question thoroughly. I will say that generally an accessible source file is going to be more accessible than images of the output. We host an Interest Group where issues of Web accessibility are discussed. You can search the mailing list archives, to get a feel for the list, through: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/ You can join the mailing list and post questions by following the instructions under: http://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/Overview.html#mailinglist Best regards, ~ Shawn <http://www.w3.org/People/Shawn/> On 2/22/2018 8:35 AM, Laurie Kamrowski wrote: > Hello, > > Hi!

I am currently trying to update our PDFs and encountering things that aren't quite covered in most of the material that I'm finding.
