Adobe InDesign gives you infinite layout possibilites. There are a few things you should keep in mind, however, when accessible PDF is your destination format.
- [Instructor] In this video, I'd like to just talk about…some of the considerations to keep in mind…when you're working in InDesign and you know…that the intent is going to be an accessible PDF…or at least that's part of the project.…So the document that we're using in this course…is kind of indicative of the type of document…that would probably need to be made accessible,…but it's not the only type of document that you're going to…encounter and I just kind of want to point out…a few things that are going to help you…and some things to keep in mind.…
