Re: [WSG] Clarification: Is RTF accessible?

2008-05-28 Thread Rae Buerckner

Maybe we need the correct person from AGIMO on this list.  Having said that
the spec is probably based on Word up to 2003, which is the version most
Departments would be using, I don't believe Vista has been released as a SOE
to any Federal Government Department as yet.

Cheers,

Rae

Re: [WSG] Clarification: Is RTF accessible?

2008-05-27 Thread Rae Buerckner

The following is from the AGIMO website.

FAQ

*Q. We have placed a lot of our documents on our website in PDF format,
which is not readily accessible to people with sight disabilities. Apart
from converting these documents to alternative formats, which we can't
afford, what can we do?*

A. It is generally not desirable to convert a PDF file to HTML, since the
results are likely to have formatting and other navigational information
removed. Wherever possible, the original file from which the PDF is created
should be used as the basis for conversion, not the PDF file itself. If an
original non-PDF file is not available, organisations may need to consider
options such as using OCR software to scan and edit the PDF file to produce
an accessible version. The preferred format is HTML, followed by Word/RTF,
and text. It is important to note that where a document is presented in HTML
format, an option should be provided for the user to download the document
as a single file rather than as a (sometimes large) sequence of individual
pages.

Some content, such as graphs and maps, cannot be made accessible online to
people who are blind or vision-impaired. In some cases it may be possible to
use the HTML "Longdesc" tag to provide a verbal interpretation of pictorial
content, while in other cases it may be necessary to have such content
produced in accessible formats by external contractors. Departments should
develop strategies for responding to requests for making content available
in accessible formats, and contact information should be provided on
websites so that users will be able to direct their requests to the
appropriate person within the department.

*Q. I'm trying to make my organisation's forms available on our website, as
required by the OISO's. The only technology I've discovered for formatting
complex forms for fill and print is PDF. This is not an accessible format,
and means that we are not compliant with the accessibility guidelines. What
do I do?*

A. Although there has been some progress in making it possible for people
who are blind or vision-impaired to use online PDF forms, this option is
considered inaccessible for most users. It is often possible to design
online forms using non-PDF techniques. See, for example,
http://www.mandoforms.com, which provides guides and tools for making online
forms accessible.

PDF Forms can be made more accessible if authors provide enough information
from the form itself for people with disabilities to gauge the relevance of
the form to them.  Clients can also be given the option of submitting
information the form was designed to collect back via alternative means,
such as email.  So for example, the boxes on the form itself should have
enough information annotated to them to make it clear what the form is
trying to collect, and every form should have an email contact provided on
the form page itself, for free text replies from people who have
accessibility issues, or who simply cant get the form to work normally.

Cheers,

Rae

Re: [WSG] Clarification: Is RTF accessible?

2008-05-27 Thread Rae Buerckner

Hi Jessica,

Understood, I work for a company who specialise in the Adobe LiveCycle
dynamic PDF technologies.

The PDF & RTF formats for attachments to content items, are a whole of
Australian Government accessibility directive.  These are typically not
forms, although in some instances like Court documents they are.

When I was at DITR, most of our forms were W3C CSS compliant, it's only when
you get into the area of dynamic forms that it becomes complicated.  I'm
based in Canberra if I can be of any assistance.

Cheers,

Rae
