Hi Steve,

> In terms of WCAG conformance, there is an exemption for data tables, so it is ok if there are both horizontal and vertical scrollbars. My (possibly incorrect) recollection is that VIP PDF Reader allows users to freeze rows or columns so they are always visible when scrolling the rest of the table.

Indeed; that sort of functionality is an excellent example of AT “doing the right thing” with large / complex tables in PDF.
