"Making a positive change: PDF to HTML
The Government Digital Service (GDS) states โ€œCompared with HTML content, information published in a PDF is harder to find, use and maintainโ€."

Consider the needs of the people you are publishing the information for. Engage with them early to explore alternative options that may better meet their needs.

I know it is not going to resonate much with people in English speaking countries, but this has been a major issue for people who use alphabets with special characters (my native Czech included).

For years #PDF viewers on #Linux such as #Evince couldn't save characters outside the basic charsets in PDF forms. It turned out to be a complex problem and multi-year effort, but it's finally done and you can use unicode in PDF forms. First available in #Fedora 37 where we've already backported it.

Just found out that the open source Python library for converting webpages to PDF, Weasyprint, has recently added experimental support for creating tagged PDFs that conform with PDF/UA:

This is really exciting as there arenโ€™t many open source options for doing this. Iโ€™m going to have a play and try creating an @eleventy plugin for this!
