Unlock Your Documents: Professional Training on Authoring Accessible PDFs for WCAG & Section 508 Compliance!

PDFs are everywhere when it comes to sharing information, but often, they are digital barriers rather than bridges. If your PDFs aren’t accessible, you’re inadvertently excluding users with disabilities and missing out on broader engagement.

This essential PDF accessibility training will empower your creators to:

• Understand PDF Accessibility Standards: Learn the key requirements for creating Section 508 compliant PDFs and meeting WCAG guidelines for PDF documents.
• Proper Tagging for PDF Structure: Master the art of tagging PDF content (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables) for logical reading order and screen reader interpretation.
• Alternative Text (Alt Text) for Images and Objects in PDFs: Ensure all visual elements in your PDFs are properly described for users who are blind or have low vision.
• Accessible Tables and Forms in PDFs: Discover how to create complex tables and interactive forms that are navigable and usable for everyone.
• Color Contrast and Font Best Practices for PDFs: Apply design principles that enhance readability and visual accessibility within PDF documents.
