" summary

Covers concrete steps: how to PDF tagging and auto‑tagging creates a reading order and embeds language and alt text for screen readers, how to implement keyboard navigation and focus management, and which WCAG 2.1/PDF/UA checks matter. Calls out a surprising metric — a scan of 1 million homepages found ~50 million accessibility errors — and gives actionable thresholds like 4.5:1 contrast and when AAA needs captions plus sign language. Includes real legal failures (Netflix, Domino’s) as risk evidence.
