Description (Title, Subject, Author, Keywords)-2

Several document properties must be set to ensure the document is accessible. Also, interactive features, such as links and bookmarks, can be added at this step. Properties to configure include:

• Document Title
• Document Subject
• Document Author
• Document Keywords
• Security settings that are compatible with assistive technology

Document Title, Subject, Author, & Keywords

Specifying the document title ensures there is a programmatic method to identify the document and may help provide metadata to searches performed by assistive technology users. A "subject" and "author" provide an additional PDF document description. The "keywords" field allows metadata to be provided about the document, which helps screen reader users gather a sense of what the document is about. 

To set the document properties:

• Select the Action Wizard from the Tools pane
• Select  Make Accessible in the right-hand tool panel
• Select Add Document Description command to open the Description Dialog (See “Figure 1. Add Document Description Dialog”).
