3 Background Section 508 Compliance and Standards

4 Section 508 Section 508 Amendment of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that requires electronic documents be made accessible to persons with a disability. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. Standards for electronic documents Must supply a text equivalent for images, graphs and other non-text elements Any information in color should be available without color Tables should use row and column headers, be numbered and have a brief description Use column feature when creating a document with multiple columns

28 Module 3: Checking Adobe PDF Features

29 In this section PDF Properties Check tags Set language How to tag an untagged PDF How to adjust reading order Check for accessibility Use the Read Out Loud Feature

30 Checking PDF Features Properties Step 1: Check for Tags Once the document is converted to a PDF file, check the properties. File Properties Step 2: Set the Language While in the Properties window, click the Advanced tab and set the language to English. Click Ok Under the description, Tagged PDF should have a yes.

31 Converting to PDF Tags If you have followed the five quick tips mentioned earlier (module 1) your document should be tagged. If you checked the document properties and your document did not have tags, you will need to create tags. So What are Tags and Why Are They Important? Tags are a set of instructions that define the logic of the content. It is the glue that combines the reading order, images and tables together. Tags show how elements, such as headers, paragraphs, and images are related to one another. Without tags, assistive reading devices cannot access the documents structure or content. Thereby, making the document inaccessible.

32 Converting to PDF Tagging an Untagged PDF There are 2 methods to tagging an untagged PDF: Method 1: Structuring the original document, again a) Go back to the original Microsoft Word document b) Follow the steps for structuring a word document c) Convert the document into a PDF This method should create an accessible PDF with tags.

33 Converting to PDF Tagging an Untagged PDF Method 2: Automatic Click Advanced Accessibility Add Tags to Document Acrobat will analyze each page to determine the structure, reading order, and appropriate tagging system The program will automatically build a tag tree for the document that represents the elements on each page If the program is unable to add tags, read the Add Tags report to see how to manually fix these errors. Note: Depending on the length of the document and the number of errors, this could take time.

34 Tagging an Existing PDF Follow the steps for checking Properties File > Properties Under the Description Tab, check to make sure the PDF has not been tagged.
