508 Compliance in Adobe Muse
I'm trying to make my website 508 compliant, and I am NOT hosting on Adobe Business Catalyst. I've used the alt tag feature and tooltips. Are there other tools or tricks in Muse to assist with this process, specifically if I want the ability to increase font size. Can I dynamically change fonts using style sheets? I don't want to have to create a numerous web pages with larger font sizes to have this feature. That way seems antiquated.
Thanks for your help.

Good day April,
Adobe Muse allows you to create Paragraph Styles where you can define h1, h2, etc...
Here's an article I found which may offer suggestions.
Pulled from the article :
Some Simple Tips
If your main navigation is more then 6 or 8 items long, skip navigation proves to be very useful for those who are using the assistance of a screenreader. What is skip navigation? It alows the user to not have to have to hear the same navigation over and over every time they navigate to other pages on the same site.
Provide true semantic headers ( h1, h2, h3) and determine clear labels on forms to help those using screenreaders. This will help improve the user's expereince when navigating through a site.
When marking up your content or providie additional options in a layout consider font sizing (which is built into most modern browsers now) for those who may need to see text at a larger size.
Be mindful of color contrast for those who are colorblind or have a hard time determining different colors.

Adobe Presenter 8 and 508 Compliance
So I am in the middle of work for the US government. The output needs to be 508 compliant to meet Federal regulations. I have been building projects in Presenter 7 and using workarounds to achieve 508 compliance (e.g. printed script/handout in PDF). I have been informed that from here on out, no workarounds will be accepted -the presentation MUST be 508 compliant in the manner that they test. With that in mind, has Presenter 8 improved the accessibility of its output files compared to Presenter 7? JAWS compatibiilty, in particular, is what I need to know. The folks doing my 508 testing use JAWS and it always raises flags with Presenter output.
Before I drop the money to get the latest version of Presenter, I am wondering if things have improved or if I should be looking at another solution?Hi Mukul,
Thanks for the prompt reply!
My compliancy checker sent me the following notes (unfortunately, not as specific as I would like):
html version:
Videos need running timer bar.
Slides just stop; no indication that you need to select "next slide" in the menu.
Not all slides are read by JAWS; rather, it reads around the slide like it isn't there – check coding.
All charts and graphics need alt-tags.
and for the PDF version:
508 Compliancy &JAWS:
JAWS needs to be able to see a flash file, whether it is in a webpage , within a .pdf, or self contained. The flash movie needs to be “described” Within Adobe Flash Professional there is an option and the ability to access the “Accessibility Panel.” But this Digging Deeper Demo.PDF was developed within Adobe Presenter, and I have yet to create a project with this tool, so I am unsure there is the same “Accessibility Panel.” If there is not, I would imagine there is something similar to ensure the flash portion of the .PDF is seen by JAWS or any screen reader. -
Adobe Section 508 compliance check question
I've run the Adobe Section 508 compliance check on a document. The only errors I receive now are 5 tables without designated table headers. I click on the link to these tables, but nothing happens. It doesn't point me to the tables with the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Adobe Pro v9.2.0.
I work at a college and have to create complex Section 508-compliant PDFs throughout the year. Though you've probably upgraded to CS6 or higher, I thought I'd share info on an ID plug-in that is very helpful with determining and setting the reading order from within ID. It is called "FrameMaker," by Rorohiko, and it puts a tiny label on each frame of a page. For example, if I select a frame, the reading order "number" will show on the top right of the frame. So I'll know immediately that I need to fix the order before creating a pdf.
Very inexpensive. Definitely worth the money.

BTW: If you have to create text files from large ID files, their TextExporter is fabulous. -
ADA 508 Compliance Workflow Overview (tab key for navigation / WebAim Toolbar)
Hi,
I've been assigned to update interactive training for a State agency..... with of course, an emphasis on ADA / 508 compliance.
So, before I pinpoint my two questions/scenarios, here is a basic, initial attempt at providing an overview of ADA compliance workflow in Captivate and beyond.
PS - useful Captivate forum urls are at the end of this post. I'm using Captivate v.6
ADA Compliance Workflow Overview:
1. All assets need an alt tag and conceivably a description > highlight the asset, like a pic, and click the Accessibility button under Properties.
2. Create slide notes for each slide > load slide, highlight no assets and click the Accessibility tab under Properties. Copy and paste your notes > for screen readers.
3. Need closed captioning for video/audio content > I use Camtasia for CC and will use the JW player for screen reader of video content.
4. Interactivity needs to be accessible via the tab and enter keys.
What else am I missing?
Question 1
My question targets how to get the enter key to initiate after a successful tab. To be clearer.... I hit tab and I can navigate through all the buttons in the correct order, but hitting enter provides no action. I am gettining the yellow highlights around buttons when I tab through. Everything works very well when using the mouse, but blind users don't use mice.
I did create my own animation buttons in Flash and imported them in as animations. I then placed a Click Box behind the button animation to engage the rollover action. Could this be causing problems? The prebuilt (and clunky looking) buttons on the quizzes do work (ie) tabbing to them and hitting enter provides effective navigation.
I'm opting not to use the playback control skin, only my Flash nav bar.
Question 2 (Scenario 2)
I have downloaded the WebAim Toolbar feature designed for FireFox, used to check ADA compliance issues.
I am getting this error message:
A frame does not have a title attribute or value. Okay... I bet I can fix this via the .html file or via the standard.js file??
and these warnings:
Alert: Javascript in head - A javascript element is present in the page head section.
Alert: Flash - A Flash object is present.
Does anyone know if these alerts are worth fixing?
Obviously Captivate is going to pump out, or rather publish... javascript elements, but is this bad in the page head section?
And..... of course a Flash object is present...Captivate produces Flash / Shockwave files.
I'll obviously ask the programmers at WebAim for guidance as well. As always any help would be appreciated and Tanks in advance.

Thanks, Calif Dreamin'Hi,
Attached is my zipped project file. I did create my own buttons in Flash - this might be the problem. I have only been problem solving with navigation on the first four slides.
To clarify, hitting the Enter key does engage navigation, however I’m having difficulty controlling the navigation so that it goes to the correct location.
I’m using Captivate v.6 / publishing SCORM 1.2 / Using IE to deliver via the SyberWorks LMS.
Here is question 1:

Flex 3 And Section 508 Compliance
Hey guys,
We are developing a new RIA that has pretty complex screens,
navigation system, modal modules loading on top of others, detailed
interaction with grids, trees, etc. and a requirement for making it
508 compliant has come across my desk.
I've done a bit of research on what Adobe has to offer on
their compliance. The components look to be compliant, but from
what I can tell the compliance works best on simple forms and
screens that don't require a great deal of complexity. I'm also
having trouble finding real world examples of people who have
developed complex RIAs in Flex made for 508 compliance.
Silverlight is also being evaluated, and I'm not sure if they
are any better when it comes to the complexity of a deep RIA.
Does anyone here have any experience developing for 508 in
Flex, and if so can you shed some light on what challenges a
developer might face, or any short comings of Flex that would
prevent it from conforming to 508?
I'd also appreciate any RIAs anyone can point me to that are
508 compliant, they seem to be few and far, even the ones listed at
Adobe, most are broken links or no longer available.
Thanks.That is a concern for state governments as well. We (alaska)
are required to make our (outward facing) sites compliant. Flex
will not allow that unless you stick to the basics ... however, if
you do that, then you might as well script in html as the results
would be basically the same. -
Viewing language property on PDF document (508 compliance)
I'm currently working on a content management system that produces some PDF files to be published to external web sites. These PDF files have to be 508 compliant and one of the requirements listed by the user group is to have a Language set on the document. Using iText I'm setting the language property to the corresponding locale and I can see the value set on an editable dropdown on my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, so far so good. Problem is, I cannot see the language code value when viewing properties on any given document on Adobe Reader.
I checked the Adobe Reader 508 compliance overview document and there is no mention of document properties such as language so I'm guessing language does not get displayed on Adobe Reader? It isn't obvious to me why showing the language code value on the document properties would be an accessibility requirement but I just need to double check.
Any help is greatly appreciated.I am having the same problem-I have several papers due by Friday and so
far this is my only hang up!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -
The client wants full 508 compliance but also a couple of slides to have rollover interactions. Most of the 508 compliance issues are easy to solve in 7. However, I'm not finding a good solution for the issue of what to do about the rollovers, since complete 508 compliance means the user who can not operate a mouse must be accommodated. The only thing I'm coming up with is to branch off with the rollovers on one branch and an option that doesn't require them on the other. Has anybody figured out a more elegant solution?
To further complicate matters some on the team that will be hosting don't want Flash. I can see substituting drag and drop for the rollovers, but there's still the problem of needing a mouse.
thank you.Jumping in while Rod sleeps on the other side of the world.
Don't use a click box if you're trying to be 508 compliant - the click box will fail every test - no screen readers pick it up.
Don't set "Enter" as a shortcut key - it's already assigned by Captivate (and every major screen reader) as a default key and this will foul up your accessibility
If you are using the playbar -
Rod is correct - if you've got the playbar showing in the lesson, the "tab/enter" sequence will only advance the slide when the "forward" button on the playbar is selected. While you can change the behaviors and tab orders of buttons and other interactives you create within the project, you can't reset the tabbing sequence for the playbar (unless you build your own custom bar, but let's not go there).
As far as the tab staying within the flash and not going out to the browser - that's a seamless tabbing issue that seems to have risen from the dead after the last couple of Cp7 updates. You need to turn seamless tabbing off - which is supposed to be accomplished by making sure the box on the publish window is NOT checked:
If this works, it resets the parameter in your .js file to turn seamless tabbing off. The problem is, it seems to work occasionally - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6113307#6113307; http://forums.adobe.com/message/6121301#6121301; and http://forums.adobe.com/message/6097324#6097324
These seem to be the most current work-arounds to disable the function when the setting fails. -
Section 508 Compliance using Flash
I am working on a website requiring Section 508 compliance
and will have some Flash content. I was wondering how it may be
possible to have text within the Flash file read to the user, much
like text HTML is read to the user using JAWS or a similar type
tool. Thanks so much.It can be done, but it's a bit of a thorny issue. Here are
some places to

Screen Reader/508 Compliance - Robohelp
Hello Fellow Robohelpers!
I wanted to see if any of you great minds could assist me
with a pending issue.
I need to verify with my client that RH truly is "508"
compliant. They would like to know how to:
- ensure that the text size changes in RH when you change the
font size for your browser (smallest to largest) - currently, RH
text does not change in size
- how do you tab away from 'drop lists' or 'pop-ups' in RH
without using a mouse
Apparently, there are other 508 complianec requirements as
well too. I did review the documentation Adobe provides, but it
does not provide specific keystrokes to verify their
allegations/proof.
Hope you can help or direct me where I can find such useful
information!
Thanks!In HTML at least, changing font sizes in the browser has more
to do with the styles than with RH's 508 compliance. Current
standards are to style text using percentages rather than fixed
point or pixel values for sizes. So this is up to the help author
rather than being something RH will manage automatically.
Apparently, browsers contain settings that allow the viewer to
override text and color settings (see
this W3C page). But
its nice to not force them to do that.
When it comes to resizing text on skins or in the HTML Help
interface, someone else would have to comment on that, as well as
the rest of your question.

Adobe Muse APTEE Licensing NOT WORKING!!
Hi,
I am an IT Professional working for a major University in Missouri. We have an Apple computer lab of 26 20" iMacs, all running Adobe Creative Cloud with an Enterprise license. This license includes Adobe Muse (with its own serial number). We use Active Directory to manage users/group policies on all computers, and manage users on our Apple computers.
According to Adobe's support site, you can create a prov.xml file using APTEE and then apply it to serialize the Muse product installation for a computer lab environment.
I can only get this to work for EXISTING users. When a NEW user logs in to his or her account, they run Muse, and it asks for a subscription, as though Muse is not serialized. According to Adobe, you click on Existing Subscription anyway, enter your Adobe ID, and then it should still open. It doesn't..........it says the "subscription does not have a license for Adobe Muse" and gives the option to BUY or QUIT.
HELP!!!!!
MissouriSpartanIf I remember correctly, I would advise you to update your Creative Cloud Packager and recreate the deployment package. More, at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html

Adobe muse - how to upload images in photo gallery in the admin console?
Question from Adobe Muse beginner - I can't figure out how images can be uploaded in a slideshow/photo gallery in the admin console? I can edit or delete images but not upload additional images?
Hi,
May I know which admin console are you talking about.
You are talking about Business Catalyst or Adobe Muse?
Please provide the steps to access the admin console via Muse.

Error when starting Adobe Muse CC
Has anybody encountered this error?
Adobe Muse CC has encountered an error and will now exit. Please report the last few actions you took leading up to this error to the Adobe Muse CC team.
String 'Home' does not appear to be correct format to translate. String should be of form 'module::keystring'
This happens when I initially open Muse CC 2014. I do not even get to choose New File or open a recent file.Uninstall and reinstall.
One or more of the Widget Library files that are part of your installation of Muse have been altered or were not successfully installed. These files are not intended for end user editing. The only way to revert them to their correct form is to uninstall and reinstall Muse. If you wish to have your own custom collection of widgets, use the "Library" panel within Muse. Don't directly open/edit the widget files within the "Library" folder structure. -
Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I get this message when trying to open muse. It happened after an upgrade.
"Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Is there anything I can do?Please send me ([email protected]) the MuseLog.txt file from your Documents folder.
Then please delete the "MBLStore" and "OOBE" folders found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
and delete the "AdobeMuse" folder found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming
Then launch Muse. It will go through the first launch experience of asking for UI language, AdobeID, etc.
Please let me know whether or not that works. Thanks. -
