Krista,
Whereas one of your dropbox files was a true PDF with tag markup, the
rest were images only inside a PDF container -- unless I missed
something. With the images-only files, I can't ask my students to go
through tutorials like WebAIM's
<http://webaim.org/techniques/acrobat/acrobat>; as exercises to check and
fix accessibility. That's the kind of practice they need.
Cheers,
Peter
