Description

Independent of whatever dazzling and pristine image you are greeted with when you open a PDF, hidden behind the curtain is an underlying text layer that may be completely wrong. During our time together we will pull back this curtain to better understand how PDFs are constructed and how you can check them for accuracy and accessibility. We will also look at some of the current options for PDF alternatives and PDF remediation, explore what the perfect remediation tool would look like, and conclude with an exciting choose-your-own-adventure game where you will get to play the PDF remediation specialist.
