eLearning Course: “PDF Accessibility Testing & Repair”

Course ID: #C508-04

Course Overview:

Three sample screenshots from the “PDF Accessibility Testing & Repair” course. The screen shots are titled �Part One: The Fundamentals of Accessibility Auditing,� �Considerations Beyond Assistive Technologies� and �Preparing for the Audit.�

This course describes how to test and repair the most common accessibility issues found in PDF documents and fillable forms using Adobe Acrobat Professional. The first half of the course focuses on basic PDF document accessibility testing techniques. The second half of the course addresses advanced forms auditing. Since form fields are interactive, these PDF elements require additional modifications to ensure accessibility.

Audience

Students taking this course should have access to and a solid understanding of Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. This course is not intended to teach documentation professionals how to use Adobe Acrobat, but rather only how to test and repair PDF files for accessibility.
