Lucy,
Did you try the built in accessibility checking tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and
above? I find them easy to use and it does provide some suggestions on how to
correct the issues. You will find them under the Advanced menu.

Subject: [WebAIM] automatic document testing

Hello:
I have been given the task of helping users provide accessible documents. The
more I tell my director that the task of providing accessible documents is not
an easy three step process the more he wants a simple way to check the
accessibility of documents and quick fix. Does anyone have a tool that will
check PDF files and indicate if the document is accessible. And if it is not
accessible what to fix in it. I tried the web aim instructions on how to create
accessible files but was told they were too complicated. Someone please help me
find a way to give a simple answer to a hard problem thanks Lucy
