The basics of creating accessible documents: headings and hyperlinks
This webinar offers a practical introduction to making PDF files accessible when they are created in word processors. It focuses on two important aspects of document accessibility: headings and hyperlinks.
During the webinar, we will:
- Compare two documents that look identical but present their content differently to people with visual impairments. We will use the NVDA screen reader for the demonstration.
- Compare the source files in LibreOffice.
- Discuss how different word processor settings can improve the accessibility of exported documents.
- Learn how to fix accessibility issues after exporting a file, using tools such as Acrobat Pro or Aidapta.
- See how digital accessibility requirements translate into real-world usability (or the lack of it) for people who use screen readers.
