  1. Which PDF/UA standard defines requirements for universally accessible PDF documents?

    Answer: ISO 14289-1

    ISO 14289-1, known as PDF/UA, specifies technical requirements for PDF documents to be accessible to users with disabilities.

  2. What is the primary purpose of adding alternative text (alt text) to images in documents?

    Answer: To provide a text equivalent for users who cannot see the image

    Alt text provides a text description of an image so that screen reader users and those who cannot view images can understand the content conveyed.

  3. Captions in video content primarily benefit which group of users?

    Answer: Users who are deaf or hard of hearing

    Captions provide a synchronized text version of spoken dialogue and audio cues, primarily benefiting users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

  4. What distinguishes closed captions from open captions in video accessibility?

    Answer: Closed captions can be toggled on or off by the viewer; open captions are permanently embedded

    Closed captions are delivered as a separate track that viewers can turn on or off, while open captions are burned into the video and always visible.

  5. What is the purpose of an audio description track in accessible video content?

    Answer: To narrate visual information that is not conveyed through dialogue or sound

    Audio descriptions narrate key visual elements—such as actions, scene changes, and on-screen text—during pauses in dialogue, making video accessible to blind users.

  6. Which document heading structure best supports screen reader navigation in an accessible document?

    Answer: A logical hierarchy using H1 for the title followed by H2 and H3 subsections

    A logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) allows screen reader users to navigate a document efficiently using heading shortcuts.
