Summary
In this workshop the use of the PDF document format is discussed. Although there have been significant improvements to the accessibility of PDF documents, they can only be accessed by blind users in a very limited set of conditions. As a result, whenever PDF documents are used on the web, they should always be supplemented by an accessible alternative (in HTML, RTF, or text format).
Note: recent changes to Acrobat 6 announced in May 2003 are not likely to make any significant improvements to accessibility for blind users.
