Document AccessibilityRMA aims to make documents on its World Wide Web server accessible to the widest possible audience, including persons with visual disabilities. Section 508 of The Rehabilitation Act -- Web Accessibility USDA Risk Management Agency is committed to making its web sites accessible to all USDA customers and employees. All of the agency web sites are undergoing review and redesign as necessary to ensure that they meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Many of our pages now meet the Section 508 accessibility standards. Furthermore, USDA Risk Management Agency continues to work on making all web sites accessible. Thank you very much for your patience through this redesign process. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement, please contact the Web Master of this page. Many of the documents on the RMA 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. Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) Files 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). This can be used in one of three ways:
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 virtually 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.
