PDF Accessibility Testing
The 3rd Annual Accessibility Camp Toronto was held this past weekend at OCAD University. For anyone interested in digital accessibility, it’s a must attend event. If your organization uses PDFs to any extent, either on your website or internally, you’ll want to watch the presentation given by Denis Boudreau. In this 1 hour talk, Denis shows us the 15 tests for PDF accessibility and how to fix any issues.
