Fix broken link to Australian Government Webguide

Open katska opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Why should I not send PDF documents in FOI responses? # The Australian Government Webguide makes it very clear that PDF is not an acceptable format for you to use in the delivery of government information: PDF does not yet have approved Sufficient Techniques to claim WCAG 2.0 conformance, so it cannot be ‘relied upon’ in the provision of government information. Write a response in an email as plain text. This is not only a simple and efficient way for you to conform to government guidelines, it is easier and quicker for the recipient to read.

I'm not sure if this is an equivalent page - talks about why PDFs are bad and when to use them
