I agree, Ted. One of my responsibilities is to train people to make PDFs
accessible. Many of the people at our company who create the PDFs are
support staff, and are not highly technical. However, most are able to
catch on fairly quickly and are creating accessible PDFs in no time.
They learn that if they take a little more time making the original
document accessible, the PDF created is typically accessible. While many
are somewhat intimidated when they first use Acrobat Pro, this changes
after their first lesson.
