Javier - please be aware that the "Web Accessibility Standards" (aka WCAG) aren't completely inline with the other industry or national standards (such as Section 508 in the US).
That said, as Bruno demonstrated, PDF documents can be made to comply with WCAG, Section 508 and other relevant accessibility standards through the creation/inclusion of "tagging" in the PDF. This tagging can/should be done at authoring time (eg. Word->PDF, iText) but can also be added after the fact with tools such as Adobe Acrobat Professional.
