I checked this PDF creation tool out. The company now has three products. See http://www.jawspdf.com/gdoc.html.

gDoc Creator(tm): The simplest solution to create PDF or XPS documents. Convert from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PostScript, PDF and XPS.

gDoc(tm) Fusion: The easiest way to quickly create, join, and edit PDF, XPS and Word documents for sharing, printing or collaboration.

gDoc PDF Server(tm): The simple and cost-saving way to automate and manage PDF conversion across your company

I found no current references to Section 508. A 2007 white paper on the site had one passing reference.

I did not see a reply to someone's request for a reference to show where PDF will be (required to be?) legally accessible with the new 508. Can someone point me to it?

Regards,

Larry
