Webinar on Accessible Mathematical Content in PDF
The webinar “Accessible Mathematical Content in PDF”, organized by the PDF Association on June 16th, was a great success from the feedback we received.
The four panelists David Carlisle (LaTeX Project & editor of MathML at W3C), Boris Doubrov (Dual Lab & chair LaTeX Project Liasion Working Group), Frank Mittelbach (LaTeX Project lead), Neil Soiffer (creator of MathCAT & co-chair of the Math Working Group at W3C), and moderator Duff Johnson (CEO PDF Association) discussed the current state and demonstrated that there is now a reliable workflow to produce accessible documents with mathematical content and use them in viewers and browsers with AT support.
The webinar was divided into a presentation/demonstration part and a lengthy Q/A session and was attended by more than 230 people. More than 100 of them filled out the survey afterwards and offered comments and/or posed additional questions. We plan to answer those as well and post the questions and answers next to webinar recording in the near future.
If you haven’t been able to attend but would like to watch the recording and obtain the presentation material, check out the link to the webinar page.
