PDF Accessibility & Manual Remediation in Adobe Acrobat (Part 1)
Open to Everyone
Learn about the PDF format and essential techniques for creating accessible PDFs in this two-part workshop series. Registration for both parts (in order) is required to gain a holistic understanding of PDF accessibility and remediation.
Part 1 will cover the pros and cons of the PDF format and more accessible, alternative formats to consider. For files that must be PDFs, you will learn about some of the hidden information that gives PDF content a meaningful structure (machine-readable text and tags), plus an introduction to techniques in Acrobat and tools that can assist with adding and repairing structure where needed. You will also learn about features to apply in source documents and how to properly export content from Microsoft Word to PDF to retain accessibility features. Finally, we’ll take an initial look at the Acrobat accessibility checker and talk about its limitations.
