Improve the accessibility of the Privacy Policy and any other PDFs

[AlOneill]

Whilst working on making the FreeCEN newsletters more accessible, especially for screen reader users, I now have a pretty good idea of how to make a PDF accessible in this way. We do not need Adobe Acrobat or any other paid software to do so.

Grackle Docs, in conjunction with Google Docs, is our answer. It is a little awkward to use and the person editing needs to know where they are heading, but the results are a step up from Google Docs alone.

I'm working on bringing the Privacy Policy up to scratch but would like some input on how best to deploy the finished PDF. Do we really want to let Google Docs host it? Is there a better way?

BTW, Chris Mahoney and I are not using Google Docs and Grackle, but rather LibreOffice (the branch of OpenOffice that is still in active development) as it is more convenient for the workflow that suits Chris.

• decide on placement of updated policy — Google Docs or somewhere else?
• when complete, update Accessibility statements on all 4 sites
• Are there any other PDFs that should be made more accessible?

I've updated the Privacy Policy and fixed the Accessibility issues (with the help of Grackle Docs). In addition to correcting what I took to be typos, and making the formatting more consistent, I've updated the links to the various cookie policies. Could you please check that I've not mangled any of the content in so doing! Many thanks.

I need someone to check that I've not inadvertly mangled the text of the Google Doc — see the link above.

Once it has been checked, I will generate a much more accessible PDF using Grackle Doc. It must be done this way to prevent Google Docs from creating yet another inaccessible PDF. I hope that clarifies things.

As to the other things in the description, they are beyond my ken and authority (although I can update the Accessibility statement if asked to do so).
