LaTeX templates and examples — Accessible PDF

This LaTeX template is offered by the UCF College of Graduate Studies. Please note: the thesis/dissertation document must be compiled with LuaLaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX, and TeX Live 2025 instead of 2026, for the document to render properly. This template is intended to offer a basic outline of the formatting requirements. These files are not guaranteed to be error free or work precisely as written and may require customization. Students are responsible for the formatting their ETD to meet the requirements set forth in the Thesis and Dissertation Manual even if the LaTeX template is used. LaTeX support is provided by UCF’s Office of Research. Sign up for office hours (https://rci.research.ucf.edu/resource/virtual-office-hours/ ) or contact ResearchIT@ucf.edu for more information. It is highly suggested that LaTeX users review the Manuscript Submission Checklist located in the Thesis and Dissertation Webcourse on the Submit the Format Review Assignment page prior to submitting for official review to ensure their file is formatted properly.

Template for producing UC Berkeley theses and dissertations as tagged PDF files that meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements. Compiles with the report-based wcagthesis class, which preserves the Graduate Division's required formatting and layout while supporting LaTeX PDF tagging. See https://grad.berkeley.edu/academics/degree-progress/dissertation/ for the official university webpage containing the dissertation formatting, layout, and accessibility guidelines. Created by Chrystal Chern (UCB PhD '24) and Claudio M. Perez (UCB PhD '26); adapted, with gratitude, from the UC Berkeley thesis template maintained by Paul Vojta (the ucbthesis class, built on the memoir document class).

This is a tex version of our letterhead. This was updated by Sara Nagreen in April 2026 to produce a tagged PDF for accessibility.

An accessible PhD thesis template for mathematics, originally developed for Lancaster University but suitable as a starting point for other mathematical and scientific theses requiring accessible PDF output. The template uses the new LaTeX document tagging system to generate tagged PDF/UA-2 documents with support for alternative text and accessible mathematical content. It also includes practical guidance on creating accessible PDFs with LaTeX and advice on common issues when working with the tagging system.

LaTeX template based upon The University of Manchester Presentation of Theses Policy which relates to the examination of doctoral and MPhil degrees at The University of Manchester and applies to full-time and part-time postgraduate research students of the following degrees: Doctoral degrees: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD); Doctor of Medicine (MD) Doctor of Business Administration (DBA); Professional, Engineering and Enterprise Doctorates; Master of Philosophy (MPhil). This template has been checked to be compliant with the 2025 requirements. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with the University of Manchester Presentation of Theses Policy remains with the candidate. This is a beta version that adds 'tagging' features for improved accessibility. It fundamentally works, but you may encounter some issues. More information is given in the template document.

Accessible LaTeX template for thesis and dissertation documents at UC Irvine, based on the official formatting manual available at: https://guides.lib.uci.edu/gradmanual. This template produces an accessible, tagged PDF (as required by the Title II updates to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)). For best results, set the compiler to LuaLaTeX and the TeX Live version to 2025 or later. Additional instructions for creating accessible documents with LaTeX are included in the template itself. Queries and updates should be directed to https://github.com/ifigs/uci-thesis-latex.

This is a way to make a tagged PDF version of the Thesis template. It is marked as semi-accessible because you will need to use alt text to describe math symbols. We are hoping that the packages for expressing math symbols become more compliant in this regard, but as of today, that is how this must be dealt with. https://grad.wisc.edu/current-students/doctoral-guide/#dissertation-guide is the link for formatting requirements.

The ltx-talk class can be used to create (on-screen) presentations, outputting tagged (accessible) PDFs. Its syntax is largely similar to beamer's, though not all of beamer's functionalities have been implemented in ltx-talk. Best compiled with LuaLaTeX especially if you want to tag mathematical contents automatically. ltx-talk is currently experimental. See the CTAN package ltx-talk webpage or the Github repository for the latest developments. If you'd like to use the latest version of ltx-talk in your Overleaf project, you can join our Labs program to access a rolling version of TeX Live in your projects.

This is the Overleaf example project, but produces a tagged (accessible) PDF. Best compiled with LuaLaTeX especially if you want to tag mathematical contents automatically. LaTeX's PDF-tagging capabilities are still developing. If you'd like to use the latest version of PDF-tagging features in your Overleaf project, you can join our Labs program to access a rolling version of TeX Live in your projects.
