to follow up on what Wendy A Chisholm said: > Note. Not all PDF pages are accessible or readable after being > run through a PDF translator. Individually test each page for > readability after the translation process. If a page does not > automatically translate, either re-layout the page in PDF or > manually generate an HTML or text equivalent. Where it says "either re-layout.." etc. Say "revise the page until its PDF representation converts appropriately through the publicly-available converter(s) or prepare and post an HTML or plain text equivalent." "Manually" is unnecessarily restrictive. The key is that there will be two forms available from the server. It may be as simple as dumping to HTML from your word processor instead of printing to PDF. But the result has to be linked into the site from which the PDF version is served. That is the trickier part. Al
