[Athen] Accessibility PDF Help

[chagnon at pubcom.com]

Hi Daniel, and welcome to the community!

 

There’s quite a bit to learn about making accessible PDF forms, beginning with how to make an accessible PDF, and then adding the forms and making the whole enchilada accessible.

 

Takes more time than a phone call, that’s for sure <grin>.

 

Here are some excellent courses you might consider:

*        Karen McCall’s accessible PDFs and accessible Forms classes at https://www.karlencommunications.com/products.htm 

*        Bevi Chagnon’s live courses at www.PubCom.com <http://www.PubCom.com> . 

*        Adobe’s freebies on PDF accessibility are decent, but don’t cover everything. But still worthwhile https://adobe.lookbookhq.com/acrobataccessibility 

*        The AHG conference in November most likely will have some sessions on accessible PDFs and forms. https://accessinghigherground.org/

Greetings,

 

My name is Daniel LaGrow, I am a new Accessibility Technician at SUNY Fredonia. I need help creating accessible PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat. Many of these PDFs are former word documents that have tables and lists. I have little prior experience in Acrobat, and would truly appreciate any help you can provide. Is there anyone I can contact for assistance for a zoom call or over the phone? Thanks!

 

Dan
