I just updated the information about the state of tagging and our ability to remediate as independent remediation professionals or people with disabilities just wanting a tool to be able to tag and read PDF documents.

Hi Jim;
Adobe Pro is not totally accessible, but in my opinion it is much better than the alternatives.
There are keyboard shortcuts which will facilitate access to the tools panel and navigation panels.
It may be necessary to be creative when moving content around, but this can be done using the keyboard.
The apps key will provide access to the options for most functionality in the various areas of the application.
Check out the following link for more detailed information on PDF remediation options:

Hi,
Can someone please answer this question? I really want a way to make minor edits to PDF's without sighted help, mostly regarding tagging and reading order. If there is a way for me to do this in some other way, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Jim
