Ce que nous trouvons en ouvrant de vrais documents
Le blog technique d'a11yfy. Derrière chaque chiffre, une mesure que nous avons réalisée nous-mêmes, sur de vrais fichiers, vérifiable. Nous montrons ce que les normes d'accessibilité exigent réellement, les pièges les plus fréquents et les bonnes pratiques. Centré sur le PDF, mais pas uniquement.

Embed fonts in your PDF. It isn't a printing setting — it's an accessibility one.
64% of the Word-exported public-sector PDFs we validated ship with fonts not embedded — the most common PDF/UA failure that has an actual one-click fix. What a missing font does to a screen reader, and where in Word to fix it for good.

Your Word accessibility check passes. The PDF still fails. Here's why.
Word's Accessibility Checker has seven rules. PDF/UA has thirty-one checkpoints. We validated 59 Word-exported public-sector PDFs to see exactly where the gap falls — and it falls in the same three places nearly every time.

We validated real-world PDFs against PDF/UA-1. One tool destroyed compliance in a single pass.
What the official PDF/UA validator finds in public-sector PDFs — and the reproducible experiment showing how a routine optimisation step silently strips accessibility out of a compliant file.
