Accessibility of PDFs
PDF Accessibility has been improved since 2021. Most PDFs on this website are Accessible to screen readers in terms of text content. However, some of the older PDFs uploaded to this website contain images, tables, charts and contents lists that were not structured with Accessibility metadata at the time of creation. Please contact info@thamesidemedia.com if you require assistance with any specific PDFs embedded or linked to on the website.
