Color and readability

Some text is too small

Some text is so small that it becomes hard to read, even when zoomed in.

Who it affects

People with low vision and older readers.

Why it matters

Tiny text strains the eyes and can blur or break apart when enlarged.

How to fix it

  1. Use a comfortable size for body text. 11 or 12 point is a good minimum.
  2. Change the font size in the original file, then create the PDF again.
