Re: FrameMaker, PDFs, and accessibility

2013-09-13 Thread Urszula Witherell 
Requirement for document accessibility is that a document has a language
specified as a property. Typically it is done at the document level (from File
PropertiesAdvanced) or changed in a tag property
(right-clickPropertiesLanguage) if a specific tag language is different from
the rest of the content.

Acrobat PDF tags are limited, so en-us tag simply is not valid.

Valid accessibility PDF tags are similar to HTML tags. If any other tags are
used a Role Map needs to be updated in Acrobat, so that assistive software
readers, such as JAWS can interpret tags resulting from conversion to PDF.

Hope this helps,
Urszula

FrameMaker, PDFs, and accessibility

2013-09-12 Thread Lynn Gold 
I need to make accessible PDFs.  I'm using FM 10.

There are two things I need to do:

1. Have each heading be tagged "en-us".
2. Have ALT tags for each graphics.

The second item we've figured out (the Graphics->Options item), but how do 

we do #1?

Thanks,
