The conversion tools work, if the document is prepared properly, which pretty much requires the prior intent to produce an accessible electronic version. It's certainly possible, but in my experience in this agency, I've never seen a document of more than two pages that I would trust to work properly. I don't know about "letter-of-the-law", but in "good faith" and in the "spirit" of the law, I wouldn't offer this as a solution. Theoretically, with a properly prepared document, and after careful testing, it should be fine, but practice isn't theory. >>> Laurie Davis-Covin <ldavisco@nist.gov> 05/03/01 08:10am >>> What is the consensus on the Adobe Acrobat tools for conversion from pdf to html? My question is in reference to a book of around 400 pages, not ALL documents. Can we in good faith and "letter-of-the-law 508 accessibility" offer them to our visually-impaired users? http://access.adobe.com/access_plugin.html http://access.adobe.com:8088/ads-cgi/convert.pl Laurie Davis-Covin, Web Technologist SAIC @ National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 301-975-8027
