'''Description:''' If you want to take a Word document and create an accessible PDF document, there are a few things you’ll need to do in the Word document in order to make this happen. The foundation of any accessible document design is the use of Styles. Heading Styles are used as navigational points in documents so they must have a sequence to them with no Heading levels skipped. Images must have Alt Text, Tables must be optimized for accessibility and list must be used correctly and not broken. These are the basics. When the Word document is converted to tagged PDF, we can see the results of our work in the Tags Tree. “Walking the Tags Tree” is a good way to do three parts of your quality assurance process: the document is tagged, The Tags are correct and the Tags are in a logical reading order. This webinar gives you a high level overview of how all of this works! | |||
