Accessible Documents

The Usable Materials Center will remediate digital documents (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint, Word) and convert print material for course content and university departments into an accessible format.

All document content must be finalized. Edits or changes to content are not possible after completion.

Request type:

1.  Accessible PDFs for digital distribution
(Canvas course materials, print, email attachment, etc.)

•      Remediation of finalized PDFs
•      Remediation of finalized fillable form PDFs
•      Scanned, print documents converted to accessible PDF

2.   Accessible Word documents

3.   Accessible PowerPoint presentations

Important:

• Please fill out the form as completely as possible and attach applicable documents.
• Submitted requests include review of the document for accessibility standards and may include recommendations to improve the document’s text size and color contrast. The UMC may make minor adjustments to color and text size to meet color contrast and text size requirements. Reviews of content and design are not included, and thus any content included in your document or media must be finalized before remediation.
• Alternative text, also known as alt text, is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image in digital content. It’s designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. Please provide alt text for accuracy and clarity for all images or illustrations essential to context, images of charts, tables, or other data visualizations, math formulas, etc. Please attach a separate document with all alt text.
