Learn the complete workflow for creating WCAG-compliant, fully accessible PDFs directly in InDesign and validating them in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the Equality Act 2010, UK organisations are legally required to ensure their digital documents are accessible. For most communications and design teams, that means learning how to produce PDFs correctly from InDesign, and that is exactly what this 01-day course teaches.
Create fully WCAG-compliant accessible PDFs directly from Adobe InDesign, using the same practical, production-ready workflow used by professional design and communications teams across the UK.
This course is designed for users with a basic working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, comfortable creating and editing documents, working with text and images, and using paragraph styles. No prior knowledge of PDF accessibility or WCAG standards is required. If you can produce a document in InDesign, you are ready for this course.
“The accessible pdfs training was delivered bespoke for us and this made it especially useful because we were taught using our actual files. The trainer knew his stuff and understood what we are trying to achieve. He was able to respond to our questions as we went along ,and the training notes provided will be particularly useful to us as we now try to put the training into practice. The price of the course was really reasonable, especially at a time when budgets are tight.”

The Create Accessible PDFs with Adobe InDesign Course
Accessible PDFs are no longer optional. Under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the Equality Act 2010, UK organisations are legally required to ensure their digital documents, including PDFs, can be read and navigated by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers. Failing to comply is not just a reputational risk; it is a legal one.
This one-day, instructor-led course teaches you how to produce WCAG 2.1 and PDF/UA compliant PDFs directly from Adobe InDesign, using the practical, production-ready workflow used by professional design and communications teams across the public sector, healthcare, education, and corporate environments.
Unlike generic accessibility courses, this training puts you inside Adobe InDesign and Adobe Acrobat Pro from the first session. You will learn how to structure documents correctly, apply paragraph styles to generate accurate PDF tags automatically, control reading order using the Articles Panel, add alt text to images, build accessible tables and navigation, and run full compliance checks before publication. By the end of the day you will be able to produce accessible, compliant PDFs with confidence, whether you are starting a document from scratch or remediating an existing file.
Delivered by an Adobe Certified Instructor at an Adobe Authorised Training Centre, this is the most professionally credentialed accessible PDF training available in the UK. Available live online via Zoom and in-class in London and Manchester.
