Notes on Accessibility for Screen Reader Users

One advantage of Adobe® Readers is that the font size can be adjusted to a large size which enables reader with limited sigh to see more clearly. However, because Adobe PDF supports complex layouts, screen readers may have difficulty with PDF documents. To overcome that problem, Adobe offers a tool to convert PDF document into HTML or text. The tool, as well as, user instructions are available at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html).
