Re: Are PDF portfolios accessible to screen readers?

There is a preference, as Karen mentions, in the Acrobat and Reader preferences (accessibility category, under "other accessibility options"). The option is labeled "Always show portfolios in platform control".

One of the items we discussed at CSUN is work to make portfolios accessible without this fallback preference being required, so we plan to have a much easier approach in a future release.

Thanks,
