Hi Howard,

Yes, indeed.  The "accessibility" afforded by the virtual printer certainly
isn't what you can get with Acrobat Reader on text-based PDF files or with
other file formats.  On the other hand, it can, at times, provide
accessibility where, otherwise, none is possible.  As long as printing is
allowed, even secured documents can be made accessible by this solution.
