Accessible PDFs: When to Fix, Replace, or Rethink (Summer 2026)

PDFs are common in online courses, but they can also create significant accessibility barriers. This session will focus on practical decision-making: when to remediate a PDF, when to return to the original Word or PowerPoint file, when to replace a document, and when a different format may serve students better. We’ll use examples to think through realistic options rather than treating PDF remediation as the only possible answer.

Accommodations

The NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate!

Machine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible.
