> In an effort to make Acrobat (.pdf) files available in HTML format, thereby
> increasing Internet access for people with visual disabilities, Adobe has
> created this simple but powerful site. Users simply type in the full URL of
> a .pdf document, and the site returns the document in HTML format. An
> advanced mode allows limited page retrieval, alternative reading order,
> reflowing of paragraphs, and filtering of non-printable characters if
> desired. Page navigation links are provided. While the HTML renderings of
> tables, equations, and other complex formatting are imperfect (as might be
> expected), plain text is quickly and accurately rendered. Note that Net
> Scout tested the site on English language documents only. [JS]
