The only problem that I have had with PDF files is when documents are
scanned in to the PDF file as images not using an OCR format. I have more
issues with inaccessible Flash content such as what appears on many of the
Internet survey sites where choices are presented as unlabeled graphics or
drop down menus or check boxes are not labeled with text equivalents.
