Description

Stop spending hours remediating PDFs -- learn when to skip the PDF format entirely and use accessible alternatives instead. This session reveals the most efficient path to accessible content by helping you identify when PDFs are necessary versus when HTML, Word docs, or other formats will save you time while improving accessibility. Walk away with a decision-making framework and practical strategies for reducing your PDF remediation workload.
