[Athen] fillable forms

[Ron Stewart]

Hi Andrea it actually really depends on the disability.  For folks who are
low vision or blind often times the best way to go is to create them in
HTML, but then it also depends on what browser they are using.  For others
in our remediation work we have found the PDF forms to be the most usable
and reliable but they need to be created in a recent version of ADOBE
Acrobat.

Subject: [Athen] fillable forms

 

Hi there, our office is working on making accessible fillable forms. I do
not have a lot of experience with this. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how to do so. What is better for this Word or Adobe or another program? I
just want to make sure that I am creating the forms as accessible as they
possibility can. 

 

 

 

 

Thank you,
