How to Create an Accessible Ramadan Timetable PDF in Adobe Acrobat?

Question

Hey everyone,
With Ramadan coming up, I’m looking to create a clear and accessible Ramadan timetable PDF for prayer and fasting times. Since many people rely on these schedules, I want to make sure it’s easy to read and works well with assistive technologies.
Does anyone have tips on:&#10004;&#65039; Best fonts and layout for readability&#10004;&#65039; Tagging tables for screen readers&#10004;&#65039; Handling Arabic text and multilingual content&#10004;&#65039; Keeping the PDF high quality without losing clarity
I also found a useful Ramadan timing resource here  and thought it might help others too.
Would love to hear any advice from the community on making this as user-friendly as possible! Thanks!

Hello!

I hope you are doing well.

As correctly shared by our community product expert, you can use InDesign to create/design files to create an accessible timetable for Ramadan.

You can try the following steps in Acrobat, and see if this serves your purpose:

Design for Readability:

Use clear, legible fonts like Arial or Verdana.
Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. For more details, see this article: Creating accessible PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

Tagging Tables: To tag tables properly for screen readers, go to Tools > Accessibility > Add Tags to Document. Creating accessible PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

Use the Reading Order tool to ensure the table structure is correctly tagged.

Handling Multilingual Content:

For Arabic text, ensure the correct language setting. Go to File > Properties > Advanced and set the document language to Arabic.

Optimize for Assistive Technologies: Use the Accessibility Check tool to identify and fix issues. Go to Tools > Accessibility > Full Check.

Maintain High Quality: To ensure clarity, save the PDF as a high-quality print PDF. Go to File > Save As Other > Press Quality PDF.

I hope this helps.

I will move the conversation to the Design community so that the experts can add more details.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
