I hope everyone is staying safe and well. This month, we are lucky to have Adam Spencer from AbleDocs Inc. joining us. He has been a global leader in the document accessibility field for over 10 years. He specializes in PDF Accessibility, Accessibility Standards, Document Usability by Adaptive Technology Users. Adam is also the Vice-Chair of the Standards Council of Canada responsible for the authoring of the ISO Standards for PDF and PDF Accessibility. Adam volunteers on several Accessibility Advisory Committees as well speaker at conferences around the world sharing his experience and expertise. Document accessibility is often seen as a frustrating last step in an organizations drive towards complete digital accessibility. In particular, PDF accessibility is seen as nearly impossible to attain due to the lack of understanding and missed planning opportunities to strategically plan and implement a successful way to tackle PDF documents. Every document type is different, and to be cost effective, different options need to be employed to make them accessible. Adam will walk through the successes and potential pitfalls organizations need to be aware of to make document accessibility easy!
