Get up to speed quickly on making your PDF documents accessible for everyone on campus. This workshop will focus on PDF remediation (accessible PDF authoring is covered in the PDF Part 1 workshop). We'll cover common accessibility challenges in PDF and use practical solutions. You'll learn how to:

• Use Acrobat Accessibility Checker to identify issues
• Repair the PDF and make it accessible
• Determine when to send complex PDFs to a remediation specialist 

You'll be on your way to creating inclusive and accessible PDF documents and meeting State and Federal accessibility standards.
