Who should attend?

Anyone who has the desire to learn and practice the skills taught. This workshop should be taken by those who are beginners to those who have some skills but need to be sharpened. This class is great for those who design PDF documents for their companies to those who will work to make them accessible after they were created in Microsoft Word.

Prerequisites

  • No PDF remediation experience is required before attending this course. Each student needs to have a computer with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat DC installed to work through each task. We will also use the Color Contrast Analyser from The Paciello Group.
