IMPORTANT NOTE ON PDF CONVERSION

When the Word document is complete, any conversion to a PDF file must be done through the Adobe Acrobat Pro button on the ribbon at the top of the Microsoft Word program. This allows necessary PDF properties to be added for ADA purposes. NOTE: “Save As PDF” will not allow essential PDF properties to be accessed, thus it should not ever be used to convert the document to PDF. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Pro, send the document to Research Services as a Word document.
