By the way, exporting accessible PDFs from Adobe's products on the Mac is
just fine.

But with MS Office/Mac, there isn't an Acrobat plug-in to make the PDFs from
Office. Apple does have its Acrobat-Reader-Knock-Off called Preview, but it
can't make either accessible PDFs nor press-quality PDFs.

This is one case where Windows does a better job.
