Using Layout Applications for Creation of Accessible PDF: Technical and Mental Obstacles When Creating PDF/UA from Adobe Indesign CS 5.5

摘要

Improved features and enhanced user interface in these applications could contribute substantially to increase the likelihood that creators of print-oriented PDF files take the extra work on them to also make these PDF files accessible.
