Hi Loretta and all:
I have a slightly off topic (specific topic of alt text/forms in PDF) but it may be related. I was interested lately in reading PDF's that contain equations. One example is
Richard Feynman's nobel lecture
http://www.nobel.se/physics/laureates/1965/feynman-lecture.pdf
The Adobe translation tools and accessibility plugin work well on the text portion, but the equations, as one might guess, get a bit garbled.
I was wondering if there might be a PDF to latex converter perhaps?
Might there be other suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Have you looked at the document at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/CreateAccessibleAdvanced.pdf
It describes a number of techniques for repairing accessibility problems in
PDF files.
