WA2 - Advances PDF Remediation A DIY Case Study - Fall 2021 IT Pro Forum

A basic pillar of making accessible PDF's is to convert from an existing accessible document. But what do you do when that isn't an option? This presentation will discuss an ongoing Research Data Service project that became convoluted when we realized that there was no simple way to remediate our PDFs. The choice was between submitting educational materials that are not fully accessible or learning how to remediate advanced PDF's. This presentation will show some of the pitfalls with remediating PDF's that have no tags or terrible tag structure, and how they were overcome. While this session won't teach all the tricks to PDF remediation, it is intended to fill in some of the knowledge gaps that most materials on PDF remediation don't address and show that the complex remediation is not impossible.
