ADA 203: Introduction to Accessible PDF Documents

Accessible PDFs can be very simple to create, as you’ll learn in this session. The class will review the basics of accessible PDFs and remediate a document on letterhead. Assuming you have started with an accessible Microsoft Office document which you learned about in previous classes, you will also get an introduction to the Tags Panel and the Content Panel, as well as the Acrobat Accessibility Checker.

Almost the first question out of everyone’s mouth during accessibility is “but what about…?” and this session will answer those questions. You’ll learn how to work with special requirements of legal documents and how to deal with multi-lingual documents.
