Re: PDF and ePub Formats

For authoring, Adobe InDesign provides this support, and we are in the process of authoring a guide to creating accessible ePub documents with InDesign (and what other tools are needed since InDesign doesn't currently do everything that is needed for this).

You can test epub for visual appearance with Adobe Digital Editions, but this viewing tool is not currently accessible to assistive technology users, although we are planning to release a version by the end of the year that is.

Thanks,
