I've been looking into this recently too. I found a lot of info from Adobe of how accessible Acrobat can be made, but my experience was that it takes a long time to set them up properly.
The success (or not) comes from how cleanly the pages were set up in the first place, with proper heading hierarchies and styling etc... and relying on them being made with the correct settings. There's an accessibility checker and make accessible plugin with acrobat, but I found them quite erratic and time consuming. If you already have 20 000 docs that's a huge task to go back through them. I know adding bookmarks helps with the general accessibility of content a lot, but even that is quite labour intensive. Here's the Adobe Acrobat Accessibility guide: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/accessbooklet.pdf From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thiru Yoganathan Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2008 3:40 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Accessibility - Scanning PDFs Hi Guys, I am dealing with a very large website, with around 20 000 PDF files. I want to test if these PDFs are Compliant with W3C standards. I know that some of these files will be I just want to find the ones which aren't. Does anyone know of a good tool to use to test PDF files. I currently use Bobby for my website testing. I am looking to purchase AccVerify from Hisoftware however I don't know if it is a good tool to test PDFs.
