MDH - Session 3: Accessible PDFs at MDH: A Practical Remediation Workflow
Quiz

Question Title

* 1. Your name

Question Title

* 2. Which option best matches the “four pillars” of an accessible PDF described in the outline?

Embedded fonts, compressed images, bookmarks, and watermarks

Real text (not just images), tags/structure, correct reading order, and non-text equivalents (alt text/long description)

Password protection, comments enabled, digital signatures, and page thumbnails

Color contrast, brand compliance, print-ready margins, and low file size

Question Title

* 3. You have the Word source file for a 60-page report, and many pages share the same structural issue (for example, repeated table problems). What does the decision tree recommend you do first?

Fix it in the source file (Word) and re-export a tagged PDF

Remediate everything in Acrobat no matter what

Convert the PDF to images to “lock in” the layout

Skip structure fixes and only add bookmarks

Question Title

* 4. Which situation is listed as a “stop sign,” meaning remediation may be unreasonable without re-authoring?

A tagged PDF with one missing piece of alt text

A PDF with a few links that need more descriptive text

An image-only/scanned PDF that would require OCR and heavy repair

A PDF with one heading level that needs adjusting

Question Title

* 5. In the MDH workflow, which task is primarily the Approver’s responsibility (not the Editor’s)?

Repair heading tags (H1/H2/H3) throughout the PDF

Fix reading order using the Reading Order tool

Apply the release gate checklist (QA), spot-check key pages, and document exceptions/alternate formats when needed

Export a tagged PDF from Word/PowerPoint/InDesign using best practices

Question Title

* 6. In Acrobat Pro’s “2-minute triage,” which set of checks is the recommended starting point?

Page size, crop box, and bleed settings

Title, Language, Security settings (must allow accessibility), and whether the PDF is tagged

Fonts, image compression level, and file size

Comments, attachments, and printing permissions only

Question Title

* 7. Acrobat’s Full Accessibility Check can flag some issues well, but it does not reliably assess which of the following?

Whether the quality of the alt text is actually good/helpful

Whether the document language is set

Whether the document title is set

Whether some elements/annotations are untagged

Question Title

* 8. Which heading practice best supports screen-reader navigation (per the outline)?

Use bold + larger font sizes for headings (no tagging needed)

Skip levels for style (e.g., go from H1 straight to H4)

Tag headings as H1/H2/H3 and keep a logical hierarchy (no skipped levels)

Put headings into footers so they repeat on every page

Question Title

* 9. An image is purely decorative (adds no information). What is the best action according to the alt-text decision rules?

Write alt text that describes every visual detail

Leave it untagged and hope screen readers skip it

Mark it as an Artifact so it is not read aloud

Convert it to a table so it becomes “structured”

Question Title

* 10. Tables are called the “#1 high-impact fix.” Which action best aligns with the table remediation guidance?

Turn the table into a screenshot so layout stays consistent

Merge cells until the table is “simpler” visually

Confirm it’s a real tagged table (TR/TH/TD) and set header cells and scope so it reads properly

Replace all tables with paragraphs using tabs and spaces

Question Title

* 11. Which link text best follows the outline’s guidance for meaningful links (and supports accessibility expectations)?

“Click here”

“Read more”

“FY24 Annual Data Report (PDF)”

“www.mdh.gov/reports/annual/2024/final_v7.pdf”
