PDF Policy
At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, our goal is to ensure the content on our websites is accessible, user-friendly, and easily discoverable.
Posting PDFs online can create barriers for users, limit search engine visibility, and make content harder to maintain. As a result, we encourage content owners to convert PDFs into web pages whenever possible. This approach supports better accessibility and enhances the user experience. However, we recognize that some situations may require the use of PDFs.
Why We Encourage Web Pages Over PDFs
- Accessibility: Web pages are easier to navigate for users with disabilities, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.
- Mobile Friendliness: PDFs can be difficult to view and interact with on mobile devices.
- SEO: Web pages are more likely to be indexed and ranked by search engines, improving visibility.
- Maintenance: Web content is easier to update and ensures users always have access to the most current information.
Below, you’ll find the guidelines for when PDFs are appropriate and how to ensure PDFs meet accessibility standards.
