My first post in a new Forum too, Alex. I think John (webnauts) is probably way ahead of the game here. Sounds like you have been down Accessibility Road a bit further than me too. I am currently trecking back and forth, trying to find my way around in that part of the world:
I hadn’t been to the ADOBE Site in a while, I’m impressed, I had no idea they were making so much progress in Accessibility Issues. The Adobe Accessibility Page (http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/main.html) is well worth a visit. Some of the issues they address in their software, tutorials and in articles are:
"1) Access content using assistive technologies such as screen readers or screen magnifiers
2) Create accessible content using Adobe authoring tools
3) Use Adobe Acrobat® software to create accessible Adobe PDF files
4) Use Adobe tools to generate accessible forms"
This is a concern for me as we specialize in the Technical, Scientific Manufacturing and Oil & Gas sectors, and we use quite a few PDF’s. Clean, validated code is just not enough anymore. I ran across a Web Developers Site today, that produces not only clean code, but also goes the more complex route including all the CSS2 hacks back to Netscape4, while making their Sites Accessible for numerous interfaces and assistive technologies. What can I say... I had an awesome Research day today. Maybe the SE's SERPs are becoming more "relevant"!
I have no experience with some of the tools Adobe has more recently made available. I’d like to hear reviews from anyone that does, though!
Thanks,
Ken
