- Canada Border Services is going to attempt some facilitated UX testing on our CARM pages.
- SSC working to get Adobe to test Adobe Target for sections of our career pages. Looking to split costs internally with other groups that might be interested in A/B testing.

Has anyone been successful in creating accessible PDFs for large reports?

- Community generally advises against using pdfs
