Accessibility and Adobe PDFs
Facilitator: Britt Peterson, CFDI.
Description: This session provides a practical, hands-on introduction to creating and remediating accessible PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. Participants will learn the essential dos and don’ts of PDF accessibility, with a focus on ensuring documents meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and are fully usable with screen readers. Topics include identifying common accessibility barriers, applying proper document structure and tagging, using Acrobat’s accessibility tools, and avoiding workflows that unintentionally reduce accessibility (such as flattening text or relying on OCR unnecessarily). Attendees will leave with clear strategies and efficient workflows to produce compliant, user-friendly PDFs.
