Beginning in January 2023, all OhioLINK ETD Center PDFs must meet minimum requirements for digital accessibility. You will need access to Adobe Acrobat Pro to make the changes necessary for accessibility. Options for obtaining access to Adobe Acrobat Pro include:

• Signing up for a free, seven-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro and canceling your subscription at the end of the week. This option requires perfect timing with the upload of your ETD and any required corrections.
• Signing up for a free, seven-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro and keeping your subscription for one month of access for $19.99.
• Consulting the Student Technology Guidebook, which provides information on software in campus computer labs as well as student discounts for Adobe Creative Cloud.
