we prefer web pages over PDFs where it is practical
it's easier to make a web page accessible than a PDF document
when a user views a PDF download by clicking a link on one of our web pages, they are taken away from the website, interrupting their experience
When to use a PDF
if it's completely impractical to publish your content on a webpage
make sure to follow PDF publishing accessibility guidelines
or speak with the web admin team for support
Other document formats
We should not use or link to any other document formats such as google docs and drives and word documents.

a clear title so you can easily remember what's in your document
