During recent face-to-face training sessions on Accessible Web Design, we received many questions about making PDFs accessible. That’s why I’m pleased to report there is a free webinar coming up on PDF Accessibility. It’s scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, 2:00 – 3:30 PM. The webinar’s title is “Quick Checks for PDF Accessibility”.

Session description from the providers:
“Generally, PDF files are not created with accessibility in mind. There are several methods to check a PDF file for accessibility as well as make changes to the PDF to meet accessibility guidelines. This session will show you some “Quick Checks” you can perform on a PDF file to see if it is accessible. Session will also talk about some of the ways PDF files are created and how that makes a difference in accessibility.”
