In our example, Coastal Comforts Employee Handbook is set to the Title style. The font is Times New Roman, size 48. Below our title, we have a real Table of Contents set as normal text. The Table of Contents text is set at Times New Roman, size 18. The text within the Table of Contents is set to Times New Roman, size 12. The headings styles are set Times New Roman, dark blue, and at size 20 and size 16.
The line spacing is 1.5.
The image at the end of the article has an alt text.
The Page Numbers were made with a real footer and the Page Number tool. The pages are labeled as 1-7.If you make a page with line to indicate where the forms go, make sure there is a space between the colon and the line. This is because we want Acrobat to scan them as separate objects. Later on in this process, we will have Acrobat create form fields over the lines and we want to be sure the lines cannot be read by screen readers. This separation is very important for your screen reader, so be sure to check all of your lines are spaced away from the colon
