> Can that document convert to a PDF that is accessible?

The short answer is yes. I have been working this week on a few InDesign
projects and have been getting tagged PDFs that are accessible (caveat:
these have been relatively simple documents compared to what you can do in
InDesign). Not quite as simple as working with something like MS Word, but
the learning curve is not too steep.

Take care,
sean

I also have a few questions about PDF and accessiblity. Well it's actually
more about the main document if it is created in indesign. I have limited
experience with indesign. Can that document convert to a PDF that is
accessible? I always have to spend lots of times with documents that are
given to me in PDF format to put on the web that are created in indesign.
The most recent was probametic because it was in a forgein language that
sometimes switched to english.
