Hey George,

But did you try out the URL yourself?  When I did, it produced the
following, and no more:-

Invalid section ID 

And that's all that was on the page.

Great article that <Smile>.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] FW: Jamal's PDF Masterpiece

I make no apologies for cross-posting the following.  The subject of PDF
files has been thrashed.  The product has been called every bad name
imaginable, and the screen reader companies have been chastised beyond
belief.  See below.

George.

"I've just been reading the November issue of AccessWorld on the American
Foundation for the Blind's web site, and Jamal Mazrui's article about PDF
files just blows me away.  It's at
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw060604 and it does a beautiful
job of rolling back the veil over PDF files and their inner workings.  I'd
recommend this article to anybody trying to figure out the ins and outs of
getting a screen reader to read a PDF efficiently and to anyone trying to
figure out how best to create accessible documents.  It's good stuff!
Regards,
Jerry"
