Creating Accessible PDFs from Word Documents
Course Overview:
This course establishes a basic understanding of what an accessible PDF is and how to create Word source documents that generate accessible PDFs. A brief screen-reader demonstration will bring to life how users with disabilities interact with these types of documents. Additionally, participants will walk away with an understanding of how to use tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro to perform final remediation as well as testing and validation.
Consider adding a hands-on workshop that puts into practice the skills learned in this training session.
