Google Docs

Exporting directly from Google Doc to PDF is not your most accessible option.

The most accessible option is actually to export the document into Microsoft Word first, and then follow those steps to make your PDF accessible. However, you can make your Google Doc more accessible by using Grackle.  Grackle is a plugin that acts as an accessibility checker

How to download a Google Doc

  1. Click the File menu
  2. Choose Download
  3. Choose PDF Document (.pdf)
  4. Choose a location on your computer to save the PDF version
  5. Click Save

Using Grackle

  1. Go to Extensions
  2. If installed, you will see "Grackle Docs" in the list.  If not installed, go to Add-ons.
  3. Go to Get add-ons.  There you should see "Approved for You"˙
