Abstract
The first iteration of the PDF and the User Experience Survey provides an insight into the user experience of people with disabilities who use adaptive technology on a variety of devices and platforms to access PDF or Portable Document Format content. The goal of this ongoing research is to provide progressive baselines of data which in turn support developers and researchers in designing and implementing tools necessary to ensure access to accessible PDF/UA conforming documents, PDF/UA conforming viewers/readers and PDF/UA conforming adaptive technology. The underlying premise is to support the advancement and implementation of PDF/UA or ISO 14289.
