Hello! I urgently need to make a PDF accessible for someone using JAWS how do I do that?

I have converted a large document using Adobe Reader DC however the person needs to be able to read it using his JAWS reading software.

How do I make this document accessible? Is this something I can do with Adobe Reader R01? If so how?

Thank you so much in advance.

Thanks,

Ax

Hi abah19453951,

I see you posted in the Standards & Accessibility forum a couple of hours before you posted here, so I am locking this thread.

Ok, making documents accessible is about tagging them. Which varies from an automatic process to weeks of meticulous editing. Either way, it's a job for Acrobat Pro. One thing Acrobat Pro will do is allow you to make a Word document into a tagged PDF, which at least takes care of a lot of the work, before rolling up your sleeves to start looking over the detail.
