[WSG] Graph descriptions: Summary, details or both ?

However, the descriptions are basically limited to summaries of the graphs, telling about the axis, type of data plotted and the important trends or may be a couple of figures.

Its easy for a normal reader to either study a graph in detail or just give it a quick glance to get an idea about, say, the trend.

RE: [WSG] PDF to HTML conversions
There are a few tools and some suggestions to make PDF documents accessible but do you think there is one solution/process/tool which can actually convert a typical PDF file containing 2 column text flow a few graphs a couple of tables and a few images into a usable (not only accessible) document for the web? I still have a feeling that you can click on all these links to gather some information but at the end of the day you still don't have a solution.
