The latest version of Jaws also supports PDF. 2.) Emacspeak: http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/user-guide/productivity.html#READING-ADOBE- ACROBAT-FILES Anyone tested this? I think easy conversion to text or HTML formats would be my definition of whether or not the PDF was accessible. 2.) ALL documents have to be properly marked up to be accessible. I don't see any language on either screen reader's site that suggests PDF is accessible simply by virtue of being a PDF. Josh Hughes http://www.gmu.edu
