Ask the expert

We regularly invite experts to share their knowledge in the field of digital accessibility and respond to questions from the community regarding a particular topic. It doesn't matter if you have general questions about PDF accessibility or if you are facing a very specific problem - all questions will be answered in the webinar and in the axes4 community.

Details

Almost everyone uses Microsoft Word. Therefore, many PDF files are created from Microsoft Word. It's a pity that until now there were no programs that could create accessible PDFs from Word documents automatically, i.e. without manual reworking of the PDF.

Really? axesWord claims to be able to do just that. We think: This means that everyone can concentrate on their content and still create PDF/UA and WCAG-compliant accessible PDFs. With the latest release, this also applies to people with visual impairments themselves.

NOTE: The webinar will be conducted in German.
