00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:07.800
This video will show

2
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.333
you how to convert a Word document

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.200
to a tagged accessible PDF.

4
00:00:14.533 --> 00:00:17.000
It's important to realise though,
that the PDF

5
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.800
will still require some remediation work.

6
00:00:21.666 --> 00:00:24.000
Here I have a Word document

7
00:00:24.066 --> 00:00:28.266
and the first thing to ensure
is that your Word document is accessible.

8
00:00:28.533 --> 00:00:33.000
So I'm going to do an accessibility
check by clicking on the review menu

9
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.533
and check accessibility.

10
00:00:36.533 --> 00:00:39.066
No accessibility issues have been found,

11
00:00:40.466 --> 00:00:44.466
but I know that that will only identify
some accessibility issues.

12
00:00:44.466 --> 00:00:45.666
So I'm just going to check that,

13
00:00:45.666 --> 00:00:49.866
for example,
my headings are all correctly marked up

14
00:00:49.866 --> 00:00:52.466
as headings.
So I'm going to do that in the home menu,

15
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.200
and by checking that in styles,

16
00:00:55.466 --> 00:00:58.866
the headings are marked as heading one

17
00:00:58.866 --> 00:01:03.133
and heading two and so on.

18
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:06.466
I'm going to check that this text box

19
00:01:06.466 --> 00:01:09.733
is actually not really a text box,
but text on the page.

20
00:01:11.133 --> 00:01:15.000
I'm happy
that my source document is accessible.

21
00:01:15.666 --> 00:01:18.866
I'm now going to go to the file menu

22
00:01:18.866 --> 00:01:22.600
and save as Adobe PDF.

23
00:01:22.866 --> 00:01:25.666
I'm going to choose
where I want to save my document

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.466
and I'm going to give my document
a name, Canine Partners.

25
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.133
Before clicking save,
I need to click on the options button

26
00:01:35.333 --> 00:01:38.600
and ensure that there are two boxes
that are checked.

27
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.933
The first is enable accessibility
and reflow with tagged Adobe PDF.

28
00:01:44.133 --> 00:01:45.400
That's essential,

29
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.400
otherwise,
the PDF I create won't be accessible,

30
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.800
and the second one that must be checked
is convert Word headings to bookmarks.

31
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.466
That's usually checked by default.

32
00:01:55.466 --> 00:01:58.200
The first one is not
usually checked by default,

33
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.333
but once you've checked it,
it often holds that information.

34
00:02:02.133 --> 00:02:03.266
I'm going to click okay

35
00:02:04.466 --> 00:02:06.266
and save.

36
00:02:08.666 --> 00:02:12.066
And that has created a PDF for me.
