PDF Basics

3-4:15 p.m.

Location: Webinar via Zoom

PDF is one of the most frequently used document types in higher education, and one of the most complicated to make accessible. Learn how to use the automated tools Adobe provides to evaluate and modify your documents to be more accessible, often with just a few clicks!

After attending the PDF Basics session, participants will be able to:

  • Run Adobe’s Accessibility Checker.
  • Interpret accessibility reports from Adobe.
  • Fix commonly found issues through Adobe tools such as ‘Action Wizard’ and ‘Scan & OCR’.
  • Navigate Adobe’s provided explanations for more complex issues.
  • Create alternate text and other accessibility necessities directly in document, rather than through ELMS-Canvas.

Participants will be provided with both slides and a recording of the session after the webinar is completed. Live automatic captions will be provided for this event. If you need additional accommodations, please contact itaccessbility@umd.edu.
