Create HTML Documents in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro

PDF documents are a common fixture in both academic and professional settings. They enable the sharing of fixed documents across a large audience, but they are often not accessible due to limitations within Adobe Acrobat DC Pro. PDF documents converted to HTML can be easily embedded onto a web or Canvas page while maintaining the structure and format of the original PDF document. Additionally, more supports can be added in HTML to make the content more accessible.

The resources on this page consist of a video tutorial and text directions for converting PDF documents to HTML.
