SUMMARY:PDF Accessibility Basics: How to Test for Accessibility with JAWS (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:In the second part of this three-part series\, Rachel will walk through how to use JAWS to test a PDF for accessibility\, covering the key commands and techniques needed to evaluate reading order\, tag structure\, and navigability from a screen reader perspective. Attendees will learn how to move through a document using JAWS\, identify where the reading experience breaks down\, and connect those issues back to specific tag problems in Adobe Acrobat. The session will also cover how to document findings and prioritize fixes based on what JAWS reveals during testing. Building on the tags tree foundation covered in Part 1\, this session bridges the gap between structure and real-world screen reader performance. Join Rachel Reeves from Access Ingenuity to learn how to use JAWS as a practical and reliable PDF accessibility testing tool. \nEvent information and registration

SUMMARY:PDF Accessibility Basics – Field Types and Tooltips (Part 3)
DESCRIPTION:In the third and final part of this three-part series\, Rachel will walk through everything needed to make a fillable PDF form accessible\, covering field types\, proper tab order\, tooltip creation\, and how screen readers interact with form controls in Adobe Acrobat. Attendees will learn how to identify and correct common form accessibility issues\, including unlabeled fields\, broken tab order\, and missing or unclear tooltips that leave screen reader users without critical context. The session will also cover how to test a completed form using JAWS to verify that the experience works as intended before distribution. Wrapping up the full PDF Accessibility Basics series\, this session brings together the tags tree knowledge and testing skills from Parts 1 and 2 and applies them to one of the most common and critical PDF use cases. Join Rachel Reeves from Access Ingenuity to learn how to build and test fillable PDF forms that work reliably with screen readers. \nEvent information and registration
