PDF Basics (BLENDED - Webinar)

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 who attend are encouraged to also register for Beyond the Basics, a deeper dive into the intricacies of PDF accessibility, as well as Bring Your Own PDF: A Remediation Workshop, where attendees can bring PDFs and work step-by-step with UMD’s Web Accessibility Specialist to find accessibility solutions.

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 us at itaccessbility@umd.edu.
