Special guest Harpaul Chadha (Paul) from Recosoft Corporation, joins us to talk about solutions for creating InDesign files from Accessible PowerPoint and PDF documents! WHAT??!?!

Yep. PowerPoint to InDesign is a thing and DecksMoveIn makes it happen, accessibly!

Paul talks about how DecksMovein considers accessibility when importing your content. This plugin transfers your reading order, alt-text and creates styles to properly import your PowerPoint content into InDesign.

Chad and I mention the possible opportunity to move clients from PowerPoint to InDesign. We remeniss about a client or two that use PowerPoint to create flyers and other documents and how this might be a good tool to bring them into a formal design program.

I really enjoyed listening to Paul and his authentic consideration for InDesign users. It was really great to hear his passion and commitment to producing quality content that considers how users create and format their files.

Be sure to stick around to listen to Chad discuss Paul's other product PDF2ID that literally takes a PDF and resets it into a useable and viable InDesign document. I had no idea the product had been around for 15 years!

If you have ever wanted to grab all the assets from a PDF (images, charts, and graphs) to use elsewhere, Paul's tool Assets to ID is amazing. The fact that it put them in folders by page is really smart!

At the end we brainstorm about how to make the tool even better by maximizing alt-text and a few other cool thoughts!
