Thank you. I always skipped over the differences when reviewing the standards (i.e. the success criteria not covered by PDF/UA) since the PDFs I deal with are not dynamic in any way — it's good to know that this approach doesn't fly in the real world :-)

Given the relatively poor state of accessibility in PowerPoint and the fact that I don't yet know what types of content the client plans to create, it may be that a fully remediated PDF might be the only way to meet the required standard. PDF/UA would only get us part of the way there though - WCAG adds a lot more requirements, but we're ok with that.
