Creating accessible forms for print and PDF
A practical toolkit that guides teams through designing and building accessible forms in print and PDF formats that are usable by people with disabilities and meet accessibility standards.
This resource explains key accessibility principles for non-web forms — such as clear structure, logical reading order, descriptive labels, and appropriate tagging — so that printed and PDF forms work with assistive technologies and are easier for all users to complete.
It provides specific checklists and examples to help form creators evaluate layout, field grouping, contrast, and instructions to reduce confusion and barriers for people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities. The guide aims to help public-sector teams produce compliant, inclusive documents that improve sign-up, eligibility, and service access in offline and digital PDF workflows.
