PDF Accessibility

Hi,

I am putting together material for a presentation on the accessibility of PDF documents and accessible alternatives for people here who produce internal communications. There are a couple questions I have.

Where can I locate an example of an accessible PDF document created using Acrobat 5.0?

Also, do PDF documents have any advantages over other formats, like HTML? I am trying to find answers and possible replies to this question, because I expect somebody to say something like "But we need to use PDF because..." I already have heard some of them.--that is the reason I am giving the presentation.

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Tim
