[Athen] Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020

[Karen McCall]

Morning!

You can go to Edit > Preferences and turn off updates.

Is it the new user interface that you don't want to use?

Foxit has its issues. A major one is that not all tag attributes are supported in its reader for screen reader testing. For example, attributes on the <Span> tag for changes in language or acronyms.

I also find that there are some tools that seem to be missing that I have in Acrobat. I can't think of one at the moment, but when I do training and look for a tool that I have access to in Acrobat, it is not there in Foxit.

Avoid at all costs Kofax PowerPDF. It will only generate <P>, <Figure> and the odd <Table> tags. Nothing else, even if the document you start with has been created to be accessible. The Kofax application doesn't recognize any structure in a document other than the tags I mentioned.

Cheers, Karen

Dear All,

Hope your semester is going well.  We use Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 daily producing alternative text.  It seems that they are phasing out Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020.  What alternatives are you using instead.

Thanks

Lorraine
