Hi,
I'm working on a web application that as part of its functionality, delivers
PDFs and Doc files (and other file types), from other systems, to users of
my application
I don't have the ability to modify the documents in any way and they may be
in any version of those formats.
According to Section 508 (m), I must supply links to accessibile readers on
the page where I present those documents.
This is fine as I know what mime-type each document is so can present a link
to the appropriate reader.
However I can find no list of accessible readers for these types of
documents, so I don't know what links to present.
From what I understand Acrobat Reader 6 is suitable for reading PDF files,
but what about Word Docs, etc...
The list of mime-types I am looking for accessible readers for is:
application/vnd.ms-excel
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
application/msword
application/pdf
Any other types of document will be the responsibility of our customers to
set up.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Yith
