[nfbcs] Off-Topic - need help for Universities

[Gary Wunder]

I'm getting several requests which deal with how to make documents in PDF accessible. Some of the requests are coming from universities where they are trying to convert books which are in PDF. Some are coming from units of government which apparently are placing their documents in PDF so they retain their format no matter on what machine they are read. In the case of these latter documents which are not scanned but which are distributed in PDF, is there some guide to show those putting out the documents how to ensure they will be accessible?
