About
Amara specializes in multilingual DTP production and PDF accessibility, with 12 years of experience delivering press-ready files for print, digital, and e-learning formats. She works with European translation agencies, global publishers, and in-house localization teams across the legal, pharmaceutical, and corporate communications sectors. Her core expertise covers bilingual and multilingual InDesign layouts in Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, and Devanagari scripts. She handles RTL typesetting and bidirectional text at a production level: mirrored master pages, correctly ordered footnotes and cross-references, OpenType feature control, and pre-flight for multi-script print workflows. Accessibility is a complementary specialization she has built methodically over several years. She remediates existing PDFs to PDF/UA standard using CommonLook and Acrobat Pro, conducts manual reading-order testing, and produces accessible output from InDesign source files for clients subject to WCAG 2.1, Section 508, and EN 301 549 requirements. Recent projects include a 14-language pharmaceutical package insert and a government agency annual report in Arabic and English. She is available for project-based engagements and retainer work. All deliverables come with preflight documentation, font packaging, and a handover checklist.
