Description
In the Django docs, we have How to create PDF files. This page needs a disclaimer explaining fundamental accessibility issues with PDFs as a format, similarly to how other areas of the docs warn users against likely performance and security issues.
For example, something along the lines of:
Warning: There are known accessibility issues with PDF files. Consider whether your use case could be achieved with a more accessible format, and make sure to provide alternatives for users.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Thank you Thibaud, would you have a reference from a known site about how PDF have accessibility issues? This is news to me and I would like to know more.
