Dae,

If I understand the site correctly, these products only produce PDFs?

If that is so, the key questions are:

* Does PDF995 produce tagged PDF documents?
* How easy is it to produce a tagged PDF document?
* Do the security features automatically block AT access or does the
author have to choose that setting?
* If the author has to choose the setting, what is the default?

The information about PDF995 did mention that it can produce text, rich
text, or HTML documents from the PDF. Depending on how well the product
does the conversion, it may make it easier to provide documents in more
than one format.

Regarding the accessibility of the interface for PDF995, you might have
to test it with assistive technology (AT) to see how accessible it is.

I hope the information is useful.

Tim

Subject: [WebAIM] Any experience of PDF995?



A client wants some advice on whether the PDF documents produced by a
product called PDF995 (see http://www.pdf995.com/ for info) could
present accessibility problems.

I've had a quick look at the site and cannot see any mention of the
product using MSAA technology in the way Acrobat does to produce
&quot;accessible&quot; PDF documents.

Does anyone have any experience with this product?

Cheers,
Dey
