  Enroll in Course

This course is for anyone who has been working with tagged PDF documents and wants to take their skills to the next level. We start with an accessible PDF document and turn it into an accessible fillable PDF form. By adding the form controls to an already accessible PDF document, people who are blind, have a visual, learning, cognitive or print disability will be able to independently fill out forms for your organization. This is NOT a course on how to Tag or remediate PDF documents. This course starts after you’ve tagged PDF documents.
