[Jobs] Californa state application questionRE:

[David Evans]

Dear Kathy,

If it is in a PDF file format and the creator has not turned on the 
accessibility features when they wrote the darn thing, it will not be 
accessible to screen readers.
You will have to contact the office that created it and demand that they 
make it accessible.
Their are some programs out there that can untangle PDF documents, but even 
they have their limitations.
I know, because I go around with it all of the time when people who write in 
PDF don't turn on the features.
This is something that the Blindness Community needs to bring to Adobe and 
get them to put some method of correcting PDF files automatically.

David Evans, NFBF
