In Acrobat 5, this user would control the background and text colors by setting them in the Accessibility Preferences panel. And Acrobat has always supported magnification of the entire page, just not the text separately from the rest of the contents. If the PDF file has been marked up appropriately for accessibility (that is, it is a Tagged PDF), the user will also be able to reflow the contents of the page, making it much easier to read at large magnfications. These are features of the Acrobat 5 User Agent, of course, which gets us back to the problems of backwards compatability. Loretta > OK- good point. Another example is that PDFs are not manipulable (for > want of a better term). Someone with vision impairment that browses in > point 34 font and white text on a black background will find the PDF > inaccessible.
