Remediating PDFs or choosing the right alternative formats

PDF accessibility is the most requested topic for Accessibility Ambassadors. In this month’s session, presenters from different sectors of the University of Minnesota will share their strategies for working with these complex files.

First, Shane Nackerud and Laura Vavrosky will demonstrate how the UMD and UMTC Libraries make scanned PDFs accessible using Adobe Acrobat Pro (University-wide software) and PREP (paid remediation software). Attendees will learn multiple options for how to remediate PDFs that have no born-digital equivalent.
