[Trainer-talk] Bookmarks in PDF files

[Jim Bauer]

If you do the markup in MS Word and then export to a PDF, you'll get a properly
tagged document that expresses your desired layout. I think there's an "add tags
to document" command in Acrobat that attempts to tag automatically based on
structural analysis. I suspect the success rate is heavily dependent upon a
document's complexities; but, say,  reordering or adding a few tags will be
faster than adding every tag by hand.

JAWS and Window Eyes both support a "place marker" concept, if you want to go
the let-the-screen-reader-solve-it route. Document navigation is flat, though,
so there's no nested anything; but it is possible to jump quickly to any
previously defined place marker through a list.
