Hi Karen,

I have not seen a discussion forum around in design generated PDF accessibility but we have been working fairly extensively with forms that were created in in design and have discovered a few tricks. Unfortunately, we have experienced many examples of what you describe in your book as fragile PDFs where some of the visual content disappears. We can usually bring that content back through manipulation of the content tree in the content panel but not always.

Adobe has a short video on their website covering the tag mapping functions in in design.

I would definitely be interested in joining a discussion list centered around PDF accessibility issues. XDP (live cycle designer dynamic forms) is another area where there seems to be a need for more community support.
