Unless you are really sure of your markup, I would be careful about converting the PowerPoint to PDF.

Just wondering....so you have evidence to support that PDF is accessible to AT users on Macs and IOS?

Hi Jeff,

In this case I wanted to keep the presentation in PowerPoint. I will later make the PP into a PDF-but at least this way I know it will be accessible to start with (or as accessible as possible).

Cheers

Lisa
