Today, your thinking about accessibility needs to go way beyond the web and apps.

People in every organisation in the world are creating emails, Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents every day and saving and sharing these as PDFs with colleagues and customers.

These need to accessible too.

Here we discuss how to make all these different types of document accessible. We cover

  • How to shift people’s mindsets to spend time in improving document accessibility
  • How to embed accessibility in document templates to speed up what you need to do to make documents accessible
  • What document accessibility checking tools are available for free
  • How to create strategies to assure document accessibility is scalable for large organisations
  • What do you do about legacy documents – do you have to make things you’ve already published accessible
