Section 508 Accessibility
AFBIS, Inc. strives to make documents on its World Wide Web accessible to the
widest possible audience, including persons with visual disabilities. Our
website pages are continually undergoing review to meet the standards of the
Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996. Many of the documents on the AFBIS, Inc. website are in HTML or ASCII
(plain text) formats. These formats are generally accessible to persons using
screen-reading software. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe
Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) format, and this format is not
compatible with most screen-reading software. Persons using screen-reading
devices generally cannot directly read documents in PDF format. Adobe Systems,
Inc., provides a free translation service through their
Access web pages which will translate PDF files to web pages (HTML
documents). For systems that are not connected to the Internet, Adobe Access is
a free downloadable accessibility plug-in for use with the latest versions of
the Adobe Acrobat Reader for most all operating systems. This plug-in helps to
overcome some of the problems of reading PDF documents with screen readers, but
for systems with Internet access, Adobe recommends using the forms-based Access
translation service instead.
Many of our e-commerce forms are developed with Formatta, and are
accessible using Formatta's free end-user electronic forms application,
Formatta Filler, which fully supports accessibility standards as well.
