Cheryl,
I
don't have any firsthand experience with Quark, but if there is an Adobe
plugin/tie-in for directly creating PDFs (as opposed to 'printing' to PDF), then
I would imagine that the choices are there.
On a
guess, I would think that you'd need to make sure the PDFs being created weren't
overly 'secured' in the PDF format, in particular they would probably need to
allow "Selecting and Copying of Text". You'd also have to make sure that your
people were actually producing *text* in the PDFs, not images that looked like
text (if you know what I mean).
Hope
that helps, and as I said, those are guesses, so if there's someone out there
with a clue, please share it :)
Beau

Subject: [WSG] Quark and tagged PDFsHi,
Does anyone know much about creating accessible PDFs using Quark?
We're looking at ways to make our site fully accessible, and we use lots of PDFs. I've been reading about tagged PDFs and how screenreaders can read them, but I don't know enough about Quark. Our designers use it to create our PDFs (and it's quite unlikely they will change programs without a good reason).
First of all, is it possible to do - can accessible PDFs be created using Quark, and if it is, is there much work involved?
Thanks
Cheryl
