[Accessibleweb] Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up, Tue 7/22/25 at 11 AM PT

[Hadi Rangin via Accessibleweb]

Hello accessibility minded friends and colleagues,

Please join us tomorrow Tuesday July 22nd at 11 AM for another exciting, informal, and friendly Web Accessibility/Usability meet-up.

Agenda

Exporting to PDF as an alternative accessibility solution?

Elise Glassman from Finance & Budget are dealing with an interesting accessibility issue:

FPB updates tuition and fees files annually to its webpage including Tableau dashboards. Since Tableau is not accessible to screen readers, FPB also creates a PDF version: https://www.washington.edu/opb/tuition-fees/current-tuition-and-fees-dashboards/annual-tuition-fees/

The PDF is exported from an Excel template which has been handed down from another person/team and we don't have a lot of confidence in being able to remediate it for accessibility, without causing problems in the export to PDF.
Would the group have ideas on what we could do and not have to remediate the PDFs every year? There are quite a few and they're made up of mostly tables, which can be tedious.

Open agenda
Reviewing your site/application for accessibility is the main component of this meet-up and we all learn from such reviews.
We're always looking for websites and topics to discuss! Please bring your questions, concerns, ideas, and website and we will be glad to add to the agenda.

About Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up
The Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability meet-up is a place for accessibility minded colleagues to casually reviewing and discussing your projects. This generally includes lots of hands-on testing and code review. If you are working on a project and would like to get accessibility feedback from your peers, please let us know and we will add it to the agenda. We always encourage you to bring your own sites and topics, as it is a great learning experience for everyone.
