We wrote a note on the subject which may be helpful
http://www.techdis.ac.uk/resources/pdfaccess.html Since that document was
put on the web Jaws has moved on to version 5 and Adobe Acrobat Reader is
now version 6 and both offer more accessibility options. But it is still a
case of publishing with care in this format. There are many links from the
document that provide more information.
Best wishes

Subject: Re: PDF files
Several colleagues are keen to publish their learning resources as PDF files
to preserve the formatting etc. What is the current "accessibility" view on
using PDF?
