text: **Summary**
  
  Authors can ensure that their PowerPoint presentations are accessible to people with 
  
  disabilities even when distributing them in PDF format using the following approach: 
  
  1. First, they should follow the practices in Make your PowerPoint presentations 
  
  accessible to people with disabilities  . 
  
  2. Next, they should follow the steps in Create accessible PDFs   to preserve the 
  
  accessibility of the presentation in PDF format. 
  
  This article provides detailed information about the information PowerPoint includes in 
  
  the PDF to make it accessible. 
  
  1. PDF/UA tags are included to provide semantic information about the content in 
  
  the presentation. 
  
  2. Decorative content does not need to be read, so it is marked as <Artifact> in the 
  
  Content Tree in the PDF and no PDF/UA tags are included. 
  
  3. Bookmarks for each section and slide are included to make it easier to navigate the 
  
  content.
