Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce both passive and interactive Portable Document Format (PDF) files for online or screen display. It requires individuals to prepare, create and edit PDF files and include navigation features, and manage and finalise the document.
It applies to individuals who produce both passive and interactive PDF files for use online or screen display. Individuals generally work within defined procedures, respond to clearly defined briefs, and work under limited supervision.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

6.2 Magnification is set for consistency of display
6.3 Transactions are applied as desired to fit brief
6.4 Actionsand preferences for multimedia elements are applied to suit final media
7 Finalise document
7.1 Final file is saved to correct folder and opened to check for correct screen display and magnification
7.2 All links, bookmarks and actions are tested for functionality
7.3 Navigation is assessed for intuitive usability
7.4 Document is tested in a range of environments and platforms for consistency and predictable display
7.5 File naming conventions are logical and comparable for cross-platform use
Evidence of the ability to:
produce both passive and interactive online and screen display Portable Document Format (PDF) files
locate and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify different file types and their use
identify page sizes and formats for online print
outline use of different fonts in online documents
explain reformatting text in an online document
identify work health and safety (WHS) standards that relate to working for long periods on computers
name various document types.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
