Presenter Karen McCall
Tuesdays Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25
times: 11 AM Pacific, Noon Mountain, 1 PM Central and 2 PM Eastern
This series will cover both taking simple Word or scanned documents into 
PDF and using Acrobat to create more complex PDF.
Week 1 What is an accessible PDF document?
This week is an overview of what types of documents we encounter every day 
as PDF documents.
What makes one PDF document more accessible than another?
What types of accessibility barriers are faced with scanned images,
documents not created to optimize accessibility in the native application 
and legacy PDF documents?
Week 2 The importance of logical reading order in a document or "let go of 
the visual!"
How do we determine the logical or correct reading order of a tagged PDF 
document
how do we ensure that the reading order is correct?
Tips and techniques for making this type of repairs.
Week 3 Creating more accessible documents in Word so you don't spend time 
making the repairs in Acrobat.
Although Word is used as the example for accessible document design, the 
tools should be available to document authors in other word processing or 
desktop publishing applications.
Week 4 Problematic PDF.
Are there PDF documents that can't be made accessible?
How can the content be made available to someone using adaptive technology?
What are the tools available in Acrobat to make simple repairs to PDF 
documents to optimize accessibility?
