State and local health organizations have a crucial role to play in disseminating information to citizens. Even in times of crisis, we must strive to reach the largest population possible to do the most good. Many people with disabilities (an estimated 1 in 4 Americans) rely on you to ensure the PDF communications you share are accessible to them.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Ensure PDFs you create have a basic set of common accessibility issues resolved, creating a better user experience for people with disabilities.
- Understand the basics of Adobe Acrobat Pro’s “accessibility wizard.”
- Set yourself up for in-depth, fuller-coverage accessibility testing in the future.
- Reach a larger audience by making your PDFs more consumable for all.
