Q. How do I make an accessible PDF if I’m using LaTeX?

Creating accessible PDFs with LaTeX is possible, but it can be complex and may require additional steps to ensure screen readers can correctly interpret structure and mathematical content. In practice, many people choose Microsoft Word for accessible math materials because it is generally easier to create and remediate for accessibility.

If you want to proceed with LaTeX, these guides can help you understand the process and recommended workflows:
