Navigating Document Remediation: An Interview with Shawn Jordison | Upcoming Webinar
For many organizations, the sheer volume of PDF documents on their website is the biggest hurdle to full digital accessibility. Whether it’s archives of board minutes, product manuals, or complex reports, remediating a legacy library can feel like a mountain of manual work. It’s not just about passing a checker; it’s about ensuring that a screen reader user can navigate a document as easily as a sighted one.
How do you transition from basic “auto-tagging” to a professional, accessible workflow? And how do you ensure that documents originating in Word or PowerPoint don’t lose their accessibility during the conversion process?
Join Isabella Logan, Accessibility Specialist at Accessible Web, and Shawn Jordison (famously known as “The Accessibility Guy“) for an interview on the art and science of document remediation. Shawn, a champion for inclusion, will share his expertise on handling high-volume projects, building internal skills, and navigating the technical requirements of PDF/UA and WCAG 2.1 AA.
We’ll dive into:
- The Path to PDF/UA: Understanding WCAG 2.1 AA and PDF-UA compliance, and why your standard matters for screen reader users.
- Source-to-PDF Excellence: Best practices for creating accessible documents in Word and PowerPoint to ensure a seamless, compliant export.
- In-House Success vs. Outsourcing: Key considerations for organizations trying to remediate PDFs in-house, from required software to team training.
