Section 508 mandates that all federal government web content must be made accessible to people with disabilities, such as mobility impairments, blindness, and low vision. Find out how you can use the tools in Acrobat 9 to create accessible PDF documents and forms, analyze existing PDF files for accessibility, and add other interactive features to make your documents and forms more accessible.

Accessibility eSeminar

Agenda

Join Charlie Pike, director of The Paciello Group Europe, a software accessibility consultancy, for an on-demand eSeminar on how you can use the features in Acrobat 9 to make PDF files fully accessible and Section 508 compliant.

Accessibility features in Acrobat 9 fall into two broad categories: Features for making existing PDF documents more accessible for reading and features for creating accessible PDF documents. To create accessible PDF documents, you must use Acrobat, not Reader. Acrobat 9 also offers a complete set of tools to create and optimize accessible PDF files from almost any source.

In this eSeminar, you'll learn how to:

  • Create accessible PDF documents and forms
  • Analyze existing PDF files and make them accessible
  • Add other interactive features to make your documents and forms more accessible

Learn more about accessibility.
