 ABOUT DOCUMENTS ON THE WEB
  • Use PDFs whenever possible because they offer the widest compatibility across devices.
  • Make an effort for your documents to be accessible for individuals who use assistive devices like screen readers for web browsing. Learn more about making accessible documents. ATU now has a campus-wide license for Adobe Acrobat so you can use that software to create and check your PDFs for accessibility. 
  • OU Campus does have a file size limit. If you want to upload a document that exceeds the file size limit, please submit a ticket.
