A repository of PDF maps and documentation around implementing and testing accessibility, in particular with regard to tagging maps as figures within Adobe Pro.
This repository contains:
- PDF maps generated by various mapping programs
- PDF maps tagged by various document programs, such as Adobe Acrobat
- documentation (or links to documentation) on how to export PDF maps from various mapping programs to aid with accessibility, and how to tag the exported documents to increase accessibility
- arcgis_pro - example documents for PDF creation and tagging documents created by ArcGIS Pro. See readme within folder for more details
- data - Common data referenced to create mapping projects and documents.
- qgis - example documents for PDF creation and tagging documents created by QGIS. See readme within folder for more details.
The repo's primary author has limited access to newer versions of map-making software. If you have access to newer versions and would like to contribute, please make a pull request, preferably with a new branch that has your software version noted in it.
Please note that this repo is primarily about tagging of figures using the technique described in Tagging Maps with Acrobat Professional (see page 3). It is NOT about "making the map accessible", which is a much bigger topic. So, that's why we're focusing on a very simple map and title - we fully understand that a complete / fully accessible map would likely include a table of the data (regions) shown.
