Your PDF is a picture.
A scanned PDF is a picture of text. Screen readers can't read it and Google can't index it. Run OCR and add tags/text before you post that agenda or form.

Compared to web pages, PDFs are harder to navigate, less mobile-friendly, and more work to maintain. Whenever possible, use webpages. For PDFs that are necessary, being intentional is key.

Chax Chat Accessibility Podcast: Understanding PDF Forms and the User Experience
If you've ever struggled to understand why PDF forms are inaccessible, you need to listen to this episode! Chad and Dax dive deep into one of the most frustrating areas of document accessibility: PDF forms. From tooltip confusion and form field tagging to radio buttons, checkboxes, tables, and AEM Forms, they unpack why forms continue to create accessibility barriers for users of assistive technology. They also explore the importance of user experience over simply “passing a checker,” discuss the differences between browse mode and forms mode in screen readers, and share how their new tool, Form IQ, is helping automate some of the most painful remediation tasks in Acrobat. If your organization creates forms for HR, healthcare, insurance, government, or finance, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.
