Re: [pdf-devel] Logical document structure, tagged PDF and accessibility

[Leonard Rosenthol]

Accessibility was one of the two reason that the original structured PDF advanced to tagged PDF – in that the tags are communicated directly to a screen readers (such as Jaws or WindowEyez on Windows).   The forthcoming PDF/UA standard is making great advances in this area for both ISO 32000-2 as well as their own.
