Creating screen reader accessible PDF using Lyx
I would like to create PDF documents that can be read easily with a screen reader. When I run the automated accessibility check in Acrobat on my Lyx created pdf, it comes up with the following problems: * This document is not tagged; the reading order of the contents may be incorrect. * 44 images(s) with no alternate text. * All of the text in this document lacks a language specification. * 587 words(s) that contain characters with no reliable mapping to Unicode. One option is to fix the problems manually in Acrobat but this is a lot of work. I have found the following experimental patch for pdftex but have not tried it yet: http://sarovar.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=945group_id=106atid=495 Are there any other options or workarounds. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Luke

This is a missing feature of pdftex. But it seems that the next pdftex version will support tagged PDFs: http://sarovar.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=945group_id=106atid=495 When this pdftex version is released, you only need to wiat until your LaTeX-distribution ships this pdftex version. Then you can export your PDFs from LyX vie Export- PDF(pdflatex). regards Uwe
