DESCRIPTION:Federal agencies generate millions of documents each year that 
 they post online. The Portable Document Format (PDF) is one of the most po
 pular formats used to publish or disseminate information and materials ele
 ctronically. Unfortunately\, many PDFs are created in a manner that is not
  accessible to people with disabilities. This webinar will explain how to 
 create\, test\, and remediate PDFs to ensure access for people with disabi
 lities and conformance with the Section 508 Standards.\n\nNicshan Floyd\, 
 of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Accessibility Sy
 stems &amp\; Technology (OAST) will conduct this session and address commo
 n questions about PDF accessibility and review access issues and solutions
 . In addition\, he will offer best practices and techniques from the Acces
 sible Electronic Document Community of Practice. Attendees will learn how 
 to discover accessibility issues by manually examining different component
 s of PDFs such as the Content layer\, Tags layer\, and Logical Reading Ord
 er. They will also learn to utilize Adobe Acrobat’s Accessibility Checke
 r to validate and remediate identified accessibility problems.\n\nQuestion
 s can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the li
 ve webinar. This session is intended for those involved in creating and wo
 rking with PDFs for government agencies as well as other entities. Partici
 pants are encouraged to submit their questions in advance of the session.\
 n\nQuestions for presenters:\n\n\n	\n	For complex tables with more than 50
  cells\, how do you organize the PDF so that the reading order is correct?
  How do you properly tag PDFs that were created outside of Adobe? How do y
 ou avoid tagging random elements in your document that don't need to be ta
 gged to avoid a tagged annotation failure? Are there any free services onl
 ine that will help with making documents accessible? Is there a trusted co
 mpany that handles making PDFs accessible?\n	\n	\n	Is there a place to get
  certified in accessible PDFs?\n	\n	\n	I create interactive forms using In
 Design. It was recently brought to my attention that the Signature Field i
 n my forms cannot be filled in using various web browsers. For instance\, 
 the form can be filled in using Internet Explorer but the form cannot be f
 illed in using Chrome and Safari. To acquire the customer "signature"\, I 
 changed the Signature Field to a Text Box and made both boxes 'required'. 
 When the revised forms are uploaded\, the text box is functional and can b
 e filled out using all browsers. My question is why does the Signature Fie
 ld show correctly in Adobe Acrobat and the field can be filled in a specif
 ic browser and fail using the others?\n	\n	\n	What is the best way to ensu
 re that the accessible elements included in powerpoint slides (alt text\, 
 etc.) are carried over when converted to a PDF via "save as" and "print to
  PDF"?\n	\n	\n	Are Adobe and Nuance features comparable for creating acces
 sible PDFs? Which software is the preferred?\n	\n	\n	I end up scanning a l
 ot of older reports that are typed but are typically carbon copies of the 
 original. I have mixed results when running the OCR function in Adobe Acro
 bat. Are there any tips to how to be more successful in scanning and makin
 g these documents accessible?\n	\n	\n	Can you please explain the differenc
 es between the tags panel\, content panel\, and "z-order" panel in Adobe A
 crobat\, and which panels should be the focus when it comes to making sure
  they are in proper reading order? Years ago I was told that the Z-order p
 anel mattered the most. Now I'm under the impression that the tags panel i
 s the one that truly controls the reading order when it comes to AT\, but 
 I still see a lot of forums and help documents referring to the z-order pa
 nel and how that should be in order as well. HELP!\n	\n\n\nSession Questio
