Julian,


Is it possible to add tags manually? Or, is this not possible?

I see that Word97 generates the tags very nicely, but how about legacy
documents? Is there any hope for converting those to accessible Pdf's. Or,
would the only method be to take the text out of the PDF, put it into word,
then convert back to PDF?

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

I have placed my notes on how to create Accessible PDFs on my personal web
site at http://jrickards.ca/accessible_pdfs.zip (about 800kb). It is a Word
document (inside the zip). (I forgot to PDF it, I just realized - I may do
that tonight.)

Any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Jules
