Hello.
0:02
CDP Communications is pleased
0:03
to offer our customers
0:04
a desktop solution
0:06
which exports documents
0:08
in a PDF/UA format directly
0:09
from MSWord.
0:10
This software is designed
0:12
by our partners at axes4
0:14
to be easy to use
0:15
for the average MSWord user.
0:19
MSWord has many accessibility features
0:21
but does not export PDFs natively as PDF UA.
0:28
When we run a PDF
0:29
which was created using
0:31
all of the accessibility features in Word
0:34
and exported using the driver
0:36
native to Word
0:38
through the PAC 2021 checker,
0:40
there are still many issues
0:41
that will need to be remediated.
0:43
This remediation can be
0:45
time-consuming if performed in-house
0:47
and require a special skill-set
0:48
or costly if performed by a third-party.
0:51
Additionally, remediation after
0:54
a document is created
0:56
can delay its release
0:58
and if there are edits,
0:59
this only cycle multiplies.
1:01
So, let's switch over to Microsoft Word
1:04
and take a look at axesWord.
1:06
You can see from the ribbon here
1:10
this looks and feels
1:12
just like a regular Microsoft Word.
1:15
but....
1:16
there is an additional axesWord
1:18
option on the menu.
1:20
When we select that
1:22
it does have an option to export a PDF
1:26
and this is where all of the heavy lifting occurs
1:28
where it leverages all of
1:30
that accessibility set up in Microsoft Word
1:34
into a PDF/UA
1:36
And the document that we have here
1:38
it has features such as
1:40
images, headings, links, nested lists, table etc
1:46
This is the same document
1:47
that was used earlier
1:49
to create the PDF
1:50
that we showed in the PAC checker.
1:55
When we go back and
1:58
show a comparable PDF
2:00
which was exported using the
2:02
PDF/UA driver
2:04
you can see all of the issues are resolved
2:07
no further remediation needs to occur.
2:10
If you would like to see
2:12
a live demo of axesWord,
2:14
and ask more questions about it
2:16
we would be very happy
2:17
to show you that.
