Adobe has some excellent material on its Website on using Acrobat
Professional to make PDF documents accessible.  Let me dig out the links,
and I'll get back to you.

Subject: [Nfb-rdcomm] Off-Topic - need help for Universities

 

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?
