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
"accessible" PDF documents.
Does anyone have any experience with this product?
Cheers,
Dey

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

A year or so ago, I reviewed many PDF creators with the hope that one or
some, other than Acrobat, could create accessible pdfs. It appeared at the
time that only Acrobat allowed the creation of accessible pdfs although
others did support PDF 1.4 and now PDF 1.5, PDF versions that support
tagging.
I would be interested in hearing about any other product that can create
Accessible PDFs.
