Outline of PDF Training- CCC Accessibility Center –PDF accessibility continues to be a challenge for colleges and institutions as PDFs are popular but can be difficult to make accessible. Accessibility of all documents in the online teaching environment is important to meet Federal and State guidelines aka 508 Compliance.
In these sessions, we will demonstrate different techniques for applying accessibility to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The demo will include common features like reviewing the tags panel, using the reading order tool, the make accessible action wizard, and other Section 508 considerations for PDFs specifically.
**Faculty will be provided with instructions on downloading Rio Hondo’s free version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC prior to the training.
Participants should plan on attending all 3 sessions on 4/27, 5/4 and 5/11 from 3:00-4:30.
