About the Program
Targeted Audience: K-12 General Education and Special Education Teachers, Administrators and Therapists
PDF documents can present some significant barriers if accessibility is not accounted
for in the source document (ex: Word, PowerPoint, InDesign). In this session, we will
discuss the accessibility issues we commonly see in PDF documents and connect them
back to the topics discussed in the session on Microsoft Word.
We will dig into the Tags Tree and discuss how each of the structures, such as headings,
lists, links, and tables should be represented in the PDF. We will also provide some
tips on things to watch out for upon conversion from Microsoft Office. We recommend
that anyone attending this PDF session either has previous knowledge of Microsoft
Word Accessibility or attends the session on Microsoft Word in this series. We will
be using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for this session.
