3. Adobe InDesign with axaio MadeToTag, 3 * 1,5 hours
Do you want to create accessible PDF documents
with as little effort as possible?
With a little basic knowledge, you can achieve this with
Adobe InDesign AND axaio MadeToTag AND our Quick Training Course.
W3C/WCAG and PDF/UA complement each other:
- WCAG 2.0/2.1 only recommends that all information
on a website must be accessible for everyone.
- PDF/UA specifies HOW you technically create an accessible PDF.
How relevant PDF content, such as semantic content, text content,
images, form fields, comments, bookmarks, and metadata,
may be used in PDF/UA-compliant documents.
- It is not the assistive technologies nor the individual software that
define what an accessible PDF is, but the common document standard,
PDF/UA, and complementing guidelines.
Main goals of the webinar series
- Learn the basics of accessible documents
- Preparing and outputting accessible PDF documents
from within Adobe InDesign with axaio MadeToTag
In this three-part instructor-led and interactive webinars (3 * 1,5 hours),
participants will learn how to create accessible PDF documents,
according to the ISO Standard 14289-1 for universally accessible
PDF documents and PDF forms directly from within Adobe InDesign
using axaio MadeToTag.
To begin with, you will learn what an accessible PDF is and
what requirements such documents must meet.
With this knowledge, strategies for efficiently creating PDF/UA-compliant
documents and forms with Adobe InDesign and axaio MadeToTag
will be demonstrated using best practice examples.
In addition, solutions for classic problems will be taught.
Webinars are given, as desired, in English or German.
Software needed
Participants will in advance receive a list of the software
necessary for this course, as well as prepared
workshop material that all participants in the webinar
work with under guidance by the instructor.
