Topic: Creating Accessible PDFs with Adobe InDesign
October 23, 2025 from 1-2 pm

Kelly Cooney, Learning Engineer, Center for Staff Life Design and Kathy Cahill, Digital Accessibility Coordinator, IT@JH

Join us as we discuss and demonstrate ways to ensure that the PDFs created in InDesign meet accessibility standards and work with assistive technologies.  We will discuss how to structure your InDesign document so it has the proper headings and tags, how to add ALT text to images, ensure proper reading order and check for appropriate color contrast.  We will also go over best ways to export your InDesign document to PDF.  We will have time for Q&A at the end.
