Looking for help getting started with Section 508 accessibility compliant PDF

[KKate]

Hi there,

I need to provide a document to the federal government that complies with section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Can anyone give me tips on, or point me to resources describing, how to set up the document in Framemaker and how to create an accessbile PDF from it? 

• I'm using FM 2017 (unstructured) and Acrobat Pro DC 
• The document is about 25 pages with sections set up as a book.
• There's text in the document that needs to be marked as "company proprietary." How can I do this accessibly? (in normal PDF output, the affected pages carry a legend in the footer that comes from a custom master page).
• The Framemaker 2017 user guide seems silent on the subject.
• Online help for "Adobe PDF Conversion Settings" mentions a "Rich Content PDF" preset, but my "Extras" folder does not include that.

Any tips or advice for me?
