April 14: PDF Triage: Making Sense of the Accessibility Checker Results
Running the PDF Accessibility Checker in Adobe can generate a list of errors and warnings, but what do those results actually mean? In this hands-on session, participants will learn how to interpret accessibility check results, understand what the tool can and cannot detect, and prioritize the fixes that most meaningfully improve access. After a brief guided overview, participants will practice reviewing an accessibility report and identifying next steps. Please bring one or two PDFs so you can apply what you learn to your own documents.
