Gary's Adobe Acrobat PDF Accessiblity tip

Using Acrobat Professional 7

• Step 1 - Advanced Menu; Accessibility; Add Tags to Document (if not already - can do this in Word, Excel for Windows allows you to add tags)
• If the PDF document is a graphic format (scanned in text without OCR) or the text is not selectable - Document Menu; Recognize Text Using OCR - unless of course you want it to remain a graphic format.
• Step 2 - File Menu; Document Properties; Description Tab; add Title, Subject, Keywords ( I usually put the same text for all three), Author - either web address, person's name and email address. Advanced Tab; Language (select English). Adding this information helps web browsers "know" the document and call it up in web searches.
• Step 3 - Advanced Menu; Accessibility; Touch Up Reading Order (modify anything that may not be in right order or classified correctly - could be table that should be text or something else)
• Step 4 - Advanced Menu; Accessibility; Full Check (fix issues if possible)
• Step 5 - Save As to do a more refreshed save - if you just Save; document is doesn't get optimized and made as a smaller file size.
