Although PDF accessibility is not "off topic" (PDF is a web format (much as webbies hate to admit it :-), this is not necessarily the best list for extended discussions on details of PDF accessibility or PDF applications.

Here are some related resources.

On LinkedIn...

"About PDF/UA" - a group operated by the PDF Association to educate specifically on the ISO standard for accessible PDF:

"Accessible PDF" - a more general group for questions and discussions related to PDF accessibility (not just attending to the ISO standard and supporting documentation)

https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Accessible-PDF-4220500/about

For developers...

For members only, the PDF Association operates the "PDF/UA Competence Center", a technically-oriented group that includes 15+ web-meetings / year and runs an active discussion list. The PDF/UA Competence Center is the body responsible for publishing the Matterhorn Protocol and the PDF/UA Reference Suite.

I hope these resources are useful.

Full disclosure: I'm the Executive Director of the PDF Association. I am also the "manager" of both of the above-mentioned LinkedIn groups.
