Creating accessible documents is essential to building inclusive and equitable digital environments but knowing where to start can be challenging.

The Monash University Digital Experience and Inclusion (DEI) team is dedicated to ensuring the University’s digital products and services are inclusive, accessible, and usable for everyone.

By embedding accessibility early-on into the design of a product or service, the team helps create intuitive, flexible digital experiences that reduce unintended barriers and exclusion, enabling more meaningful and equitable engagement for all users across the University’s digital ecosystem.

In this webinar, Claire and Jason from the Monash University DEI team will share their practical experience and lessons learned while preparing an accessible PDF for their Athena Swan Award.

This session provides an introduction to accessible PDFs, highlighting common accessibility issues, and demonstrating best-practice approaches for converting documents to PDFs that meet accessibility standards.

You’ll learn:

• What makes a document accessible — and why it matters
• Common accessibility issues in PDFs (and how to avoid them)
• Practical tips and tools for creating accessible documents
• How accessibility supports equity, inclusion and compliance
