Adobe Reader Snapshot Tool is a useful way of capturing images and sections of content that do not look good when saved as text or disappear altogether. This strategy does not make them screen readable but it does allow you to take them into text documents for annotation.
- Choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool
- Drag a rectangle around the image you want to save, and then release the mouse button.
- Adobe PDF Accessibility
The Portable Document Format (PDF) developed by Adobe can be made accessible, but it very much depends on how the original document is designed. If it is a poster created in a publishing application, scanned or saved from a Word document and locked down for copyright reasons then saved as PDF, it is liable to act in the same way as a picture. This means the text cannot be read by a screen reader or adapted for easier reading. It is appreciated that the concept of the PDF is to ensure that printed or saved versions of a document remain as the author intends, but there are ways to help the reader who uses assistive technologies or requires different formats of the text and graphics.
- Adobe PDF Easy Reading
The Portable Document Format (PDF) developed by Adobe can be easier to read if it has the right tags for graphics and a structured layout as well as reading areas that flow in a way that makes sense when they are read with a screen reader or text to speech. Sadly there are times when PDFs are totally inaccessible so a work around is required. This guide offers some hints and tips for easy reading with further links.
