Discussion group: Solving pdf accessibility
Chair: Ted Page, PWS
The 'Solving pdf accessibility' discussion group is aimed at content authors and editors but will also appeal to managers and others responsible for accessibility compliance. It will also provide useful guidance to those responsible for procuring annual reports/glossy brochures etc from external designers/typesetters as well as to those needing to produce quick, easy, cheap and accessible forms.
This session will include discussion of many simple techniques that delegates will be able to put to use straight away as well as relating those techniques to compliance with WCAG 2.0.
