You skipped the part about how to launch AI Assistant?
I have the entire Adobe Suite and Acrobat tells me I'm not eligible for Generative AI features in Acrobat. What am I missing?
I wish there was a way to create a form on your iPad with a section you use your finger to sign it. I don’t understand why this is such a difficult thing to do. Simply allow a box that you can use your finger to sign in. No need to sign up for an official digital id.
So you can't write thing own your own. Great.
So clutch man you just got a sub no one on youtube came close to this.
Thanks
Welcome
how do you change just DPI
Not sure tbh
Thanks for the shout out!!
You da man!
Text to speech and then speech to text? Trolling?
This tool can do both!
Get SpaceX files which I think Elon open-sources, then eli5 them 😂
Why are banded rows necessary for accessibility? Thank you so much :)
They are not. It's possible I misspoke in the video
@@TheAccessibilityGuy Thank you!
Yeah afterward if you want to do anything to it, you have to print to PDF and then tag everything manually, and it's not the legally signed version anymore. I've asked for the unsigned version and pasted in a screenshot of the signature and said the official version is available upon demand, but the official version isn't accessible.
Exactly what prompted this video lol. Maybe one day it will be better!
i dont have such a folder "XTRAS" and file also "adobepdf.inf" :\
When I follow these steps and test with both acrobat and NVDA screen readers, neither read the "actual text".
That is very odd. I tend to test with JAWS. The acrobat reader is garbage - but I wonder if need to set a setting with NVDA
@@TheAccessibilityGuy I'll run another test, as I redid the accessibility pass on the PDF in question, due to my reading order getting wiped out. That may have caused the "actual text" to not work. Stay tuned.
Otter looks great but my needs require to use the Business plan (3hrs lecture per weekday), and pro plan isnt enough and the business plan is too expensive
I hear ya - you might try fathom ai. I have a video on it too.
@@TheAccessibilityGuy thank you I will check it out, I am a university student with impaired hearing and ADHD, so hard to focus on lectures, 3 hours everyday of weekdays is insane, and otter ai would need business plan to capture more than 1h30mins and 60hrs per month
@@TheAccessibilityGuy Unfortunately Fathom is strictly for Online meetings and cannot be used for Face-to-Face lectures like OtterAi
How do we move the toolbar back to the top of the screen as it was previously? Doesn't work for me being on the side of the doc.
I have not figured out how to do that!
@@TheAccessibilityGuy Okay thanks.
How to remove duplicate fonts in Acrobat Please reply to video
I'm not sure what you mean about duplicates
THANK YOU!!
Your totally welcome
Not easy to follow for a beginner. Too fast. Almost like you talking to yourself.
Appreciate that feedback. I do tend to talk fast. I'll try to slow down on more complex videos like this. Each video also has a blog post in the description that you can follow along with too. Ty!
Thank you for sharing this video. All other methods that I've tried have never worked. This is perfect! Thanks again!
Super glad it helped!
I think you saved my day, my night and lot of pain 😄 Thank you
Lol anytime!
Does adobe acrobat have a resize page feature?
They do! It's sorta under the crop features
Thank you so much.
Your welcome so much!
There are reasons for merged cells sometimes, and this video is not really helpful. It could have just been two seconds with you saying "don't use merged cells."
Merged cells are not accessible in PowerPoint. This comment is not really helpful - it could have been zero seconds and just "nothing".
Thank you for loading up this video..looking for the video on compliance 508 testing pdf document
Your welcome! I now have self Paced courses if you want to dive in further! www.skool.com/tag
can I move tools to right like old versions ?
You would have to switch back to the old version
Thanks for the video! It was super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I have tried various other ways many times in the past and this is by far the easiest and most straight forward way to accomplish this. Thank you.
Yay glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much!! I love your videos!
Appreciate the support!
Dude, would be a good idea if you reviewed Adobe, BEFORE making the video, not while presenting!
Appreciate the comment! Ive been using Adobe over 15 years
Thank you!
Your welcome!
It would be great if you could run a test on Grackle GO, the free online PDF accessibility checker. You don't need to download or install anything. Works on Windows, Mac, Chromebook etc.
Thank you for taking the time to make and post this helpful video!
Hey, I'm really glad you found it helpful
omg. the problem of combining oversized photos and 8.5 by 11 documents into a single legal document has plagued me for years and you just solved it for me. thank you.
Yahoo!! Now that is the type of feedback I like to see LOL
I cant figure out the subheadings tho. it isnt dragging over simply like it is supposed to.
Sometimes it's easier to just delete the bookmarks and recreate them from scratch
Thanks for the video tutorial! Just a question - you are using short cuts on your keyboard but I'm not quite sure how you're selecting and moving the tags in new positions. You're oviously selecting and then up and down and then putting in place. Love to know what those keyboard short cuts are for mac espeically. Cheers
That's a great question. I simply am using, cut and paste. The main trick that you're seeing in the video is that if you have a tag selected while you are pasting, it will paste it directly underneath that tag. So I pretty much just use my arrow keys and a combination of cut and paste to quickly move tags. You can also hold your control key on PC to select multiple tags at once.
Nope, no help with removing someone elses signature
Oof. Yeah, it seems people are having different results based on this technique showed in the video.
Will it be able to make subtitles from Polish audio in Polish?
Nope. Only in en at this time
Where do you find the PAC checker?
This is great. Can you recommend a way to BATCH crop multiple documents. Thanks!
In theory, you could combine them all into one PDF. Do your crop and then extract the individual files out again.
Yeah, doesn't work. It only gives me option to sign (and I am document author).
Darn it. I've been getting mixed results with this technique myself
hi, there, any idea how to batch fixing for multiple files?
Not possible as far as I know
This is a great video! I followed your instructions but when I clicked Print, I got an error message that says the document could not be printed, use our help page to troubleshoot... and another error message that says an error occurred while printing the document, use our help page... I changed the size to 24x36. Any suggestions?
You might have to add the Adobe printer, or even remove it and readd it
I’m using word on office 365 via web browser and my format changes when I save to pdf. I don’t have the options once I click export. Any other tricks?
The options for the online version of Microsoft 365 are just not the same as the desktop version. The options for the online version of Microsoft 365 are just not the same as the desktop version. If I were you, I would download the desktop version and then try it
thanks great help
Your welcome!
THANK YOU. I have one last thing I'm stuck on. After resizing the page, the pdf pages are stuck in the lower left. I can't seem to figure out how to change it so that it is in the upper left hand corner. How would I do that?
There should be a check box inside of that printing window that does not condense the content. I can't think of what the option is called off the top of my head but it should be in that area
What's the best Mac application for building an accessible org chart with a lot of visual design control? Adobe Illustrator? LucidChart? Miro? Canva? I want to minimize additional clean up in Acrobat by building smart from the start.
Honestly probably powerpoint, but if you create a bunch of documents - you can use an online editor like Venngage and use their templates to export out to an accessible PDF. If you mention my channel - you can get a free trial: venngage.com/a11y/the-accessibility-guy
@@TheAccessibilityGuy would Keynote work? I don't have any MS applications. I will also check out Venngage, because presentation software doesn't seem ideal for org charts.
this is exactly the tutorial I'm looking for. Thank you Sir! God bless!
Amazing!
Do we really want the URL in the alternate description? I feel like that would be really chatty for screen reader users.
Valid concern. I would say no for sure. However, where this tool is useful is for things like TOC and docs riddled with references and footnotes.
