Re: Can Word and Adobe ACrobat on a Mac make accessible/taggedPDF files?

At this time (and for the foreseeable future, as I understand it) you can't
make a PDF from Word/Mac. I've been told that it's a problem with Apple's
OS, not Adobe and Microsoft.

We haven't yet upgraded to Mavericks (Mac's latest OS) so I don't know if
the problem was resolved with the new Apple OS.

Our office's solution is to open the Word document in Word/Windows, export
to accessible PDF, and complete the accessibility on the Windows side.
