Hi. We are trying to rewrite our policy on posting PDFs now that
Adobe has come out with accessibility enabled (MSAA) version of
reader. Our current policy is that we allow developers to post PDFs
if they have an accessible alternative posted with it (ie. text or
accessible html). Our developers would like to get rid of the
extra versions now that they can create more accessible PDFs,
however, we have been unable to find an accessible version of the
reader for Mac. Does anyone know if this exists? If it does not,
we will need to keep our policy to post two documents.

We have been doing non-stop accessibility testing on Capture 3.x
and Adobe 5.x. I am wondering also if anyone has any tips on using
Acrobat or Capture. We would be happy to compare notes with anyone
out there.

Thanks,
