Can someone give me the lowdown on the accessibility of pdf files.  My
understanding had been that you needed the adobe conversion program and
that the conversion provided pretty good access for the screenreader user.
I've also been told that you can save your pdf files to be accessible
without requiring translation though it required a larger file.  I've also
heard that adobe is working on a more accessible version.  Is this correct?
 Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
