Design Accessible PDFs with LaTeX

Primary tabs

LaTeX-generated PDFs, especially those with complex math, have traditionally been hard to make accessible. However, recent updates to the LaTeX kernel have made it possible to make most standard documents more accessible for students with vision-related disabilities. As of April 2026, updated Title II requirements make this type of accessibility improvement mandatory for our materials.

During this workshop, we'll explore how accessible documents benefit all students, discuss some basic examples, and then learn how to enable the new features. 

This is an interactive workshop with active work time built in to experiment with new features. Participants should ensure they bring a laptop with an updated (2025 TeXLive or fully up-to-date MikTeX) local installation of LaTeX during the session.

This workshop is facilitated by Hunter Lehmann, director of Undergraduate Advising in the School of Mathematics. Register here.
