City of La Puente: PDF accessibility results
Here is what we found on the City of La Puente website, and how to fix it. We share this to help; many agencies are working through the same issues before the ADA Title II deadline.

The 3 biggest problems
Ranked by how much each blocks access (unreadable scans and unlabeled forms first), then by pages affected.
Scanned pages with no real text
36 PDFs, 1,098 pages. These files are pictures of paper. A screen reader finds nothing to read, and nobody can search or copy the text.
Fix: Convert to real, proofread text (OCR), then tag the structure.
Forms that screen readers can't fill out
3 PDFs, 163 pages. Form fields on untagged files usually have no spoken name, so a blind resident hears "edit text" and can't tell what to type.
Fix: Rebuild the form with labeled fields and a logical tab order.
Files with no tags
97 PDFs, 6,943 pages. Without tags, a screen reader can't tell headings, lists, tables or reading order apart. Long agendas become one undivided stream of words.
Fix: Add tags for headings, lists, tables and reading order, and describe images.
