Can Publisher make accessible PDFs (PDF/UA-1 Standard)

[Dezinah]

Does Publisher have accessibility tools yet?

Need to make accessible PDFs from layouts for US, Canada, EU, Asia, etc. and accessibility is required by country laws.

Must meet the PDF/UA-1 international accessibility standard (ISO 14289).

Sadly not at the moment.  We do have a feature request/improvement logged for this to be added, so it should come at some stage but we don't have an ETA on when that will be.

Hi @stokerg,  good to hear you are working on this.

I think it’s important to note that stokerg did not say that Serif were working on it, only that it had been logged as something that has been requested and may be added at some point in the future.
Those are two different things; just because they are aware of the request doesn’t mean that it is being worked on (either actively or passively).
I only mention this as some people might quote what you have written rather than look at what the actual answer was.

I love the idea of working on something passively! I must set aside some time to try it. 😁
