I make no apologies for cross-posting the following. The
subject of PDF files has been thrashed. The product has been
called every bad name imaginable, and the screen reader
companies have been chastised beyond belief. See below.

"I've just been reading the November issue of AccessWorld on
the American Foundation for the Blind's web site, and Jamal
Mazrui's article about PDF files just blows me away. It's at
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw060604
and it does a beautiful job of rolling back the veil over
PDF files and their inner workings. I'd recommend this
article to anybody trying to figure out the ins and outs of
getting a screen reader to read a PDF efficiently and to
anyone trying to figure out how best to create accessible
documents. It's good stuff!
Regards,
Jerry"
