PDF Accessibility
Making PDFs accessible can be a challenging task due to all elements within each document, but it's worth the time and effort. Accessible PDFs ensure that all users can access and interact with the content.
Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader does not have the functionality to make a PDF accessible.
If you do not have the required software and need help making course content in a PDF format accessible, submit your files to the CELT PDF Remediation program.
