Run the Accessibility Checker in Canva and fix any problems, then SHARE the item through Canva's sharing option with appropriate permissions.
Export to PDF -- Do NOT 'flatten' the document if you export as a PDF. Flattening the images will cause it to be one large image and you will lose the accessibility tags, becoming non-compliant (not legal). Email Web Team and we can verify if you item is still compliant.
