Part 2: PDF Accessibility Basics – Creating Effective PDF Accessibility Training for Your Organization (Digital Accessibility Webinar)

Getting staff trained and efficient at creating accessible PDFs is one of the most common challenges organizations face in their digital accessibility process. In this session, Rachel will walk through a structured approach to building effective PDF accessibility training, covering how to identify document creators, assess the tools they use, and determine whether standard or advanced remediation training is needed. Attendees will learn how to develop a tailored training plan that includes accessible templates, a standardized color palette, and consistent image descriptions for common assets. The session will also cover how to establish an internal review process with coaching, graded feedback, and a dedicated team of accessibility experts to sustain skills long after training is complete.
