PDF/A accessibility

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are any particular accessibility limitations to
PDF/A documents compared with standard PDF documents, and/or if there are
any special steps that should be taken to ensure PDF/A documents are
accessible?

The specific situation we're facing is converting fairly simple Word docs
(no images, no tables, no multiple columns) to PDF/A, but any experience
anyone has with this would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Jon
