Visitor tools
Read PDFs and image text
Keep document visuals familiar, reveal readable PDF text on demand, and use image descriptions when needed.
Readable PDFs without a wall of text
Supported same-site PDFs open in the ADA Real document reader. Each prepared PDF page keeps its page image, followed by a prominent blue Click to read this PDF button. Text stays collapsed until requested; Hide PDF text collapses it again. Use PDF page navigation to move between prepared pages.
Original PDF access
The reader offers Open original PDF in a new tab. Disable ADA assistance returns to original website behavior for this browser, including the original PDF experience. Some external, protected, unusually large, or complex files may need the original viewer or another accessible version from the owner.
Image descriptions
Meaningful alternative text helps describe images and linked destinations. Image tooltips are off by default and can be enabled by a visitor. Available image-text extraction helps with supported text inside images; do not assume every photograph or scan will produce complete or accurate text.
Check important content
Some documents have reviewed structured text, while others use automatic extraction. Scanned pages, handwriting, low resolution, tables, and complex reading order can affect accuracy. Confirm important details with the website owner and maintain accessible source documents.
