PDF Max Remediation Tool
Inaccessible PDFs is a major challenge for assistive technology users and often requires significant time and effort by faculty to remediate issues in their documents. The new Yuja PDF MAX Remediation tool in Canvas enables faculty to address more complex and structural PDF accessibility issues such as header, language, and reading-order, as well as make other structural PDF changes to improve accessibility.
Key Features
- Add Logical Structure to PDF Documents: With this new tool faculty can organize a document’s structure with chapters, headings, paragraphs and sections of special elements like figures, tables, and footnotes.
- Add Tags to your PDF documents for improved readability: Use this tool to add tags to your PDF files to include additional information about your documents. This improves the accessibility of your PDFs for those who use assistive technology. By adding semantic meaning to content in your PDF documents you are helping assistive technology to better interpret and present information in the way it’s meant to be presented.
- Manually Verify the Reading Order of Documents: When YuJa Panorama identifies the reading order as an issue, faculty may prefer to retain their original order or manually adjust it.
- Visualize structural elements in your PDF documents: When viewing a document’s structural hierarchy in PDF Max, elements will automatically be highlighted when hovered over, allowing faculty to easily identify which content they are adjusting.
