Welcome to the Print Document Accessibility guide! This is one of several guides available from Clemson's Accessibility Web Portal intended to help creators produce materials that are designed so that all persons, including those with disabilities, can access, use, understand, and (in some cases) contribute to the product.

Disclaimers

Following the guidelines in this guide will generally improve the accessibility of your files, but does not guarantee that your content is accessible or Section 508/ADA compliant.
This guide was not developed by a lawyer, and the information within should not be considered legal advice.
This guide was developed by the President's Commission on Accessibility, commonly referred to as Clemson's Accessibility Commission. This guide has not been reviewed or approved by Clemson's president, and the commission's name is expected to change in January 2019 to address this confusion.
