The Make Accessible action tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC assists you to reformat a document for accessibility. It walks you through several steps and prompts you to add information as needed. 

Keep in mind that the Make Accessible action will not make your document 100% accessible. There are some issues that will need to be resolved manually with the help of the Accessibility Checker. The Make Accessible action is a great place to begin the process because it assists you in fixing the most common errors first.

To use the Make Accessible action to create and verify accessibility, it is important that you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, not just a PDF reader. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is available free for TTU faculty and staff through the eRaider website.
