Only if, or when, it is posted to the web -- as in "web-based information," which is a bit silly 'cause accessible design is equally a concern during the workflow process. Now, if the actual question is "what makes an accessible Office or Acrobat document," there's no shortage of relevant information online. A co-worker recently sent out these particularly topical references:

Microsoft Office: Word, PowerPoint, Excel | Webstandards, Accessibility and Usability at Penn State

Hi,
Which paragraphs of 508 would deal with MS Office and PDF documents?
