Helloo Chip and all,
The web site that I am interested in has information posted as images. Is
there a method that I can use to read these with Jaws 6.2? Thanks, Chuck

I'm sure Adobe has these standards clearly laid out at http://adobe.com .
In general, scanning a document as an image, and using that image to create a
pdf is completely inaccessible. Running an OCR routine on such an image is
only partially accessible at best.
Creating a PDF as part of a document printing option is the only way to
possibly see that it contains the text of the document, as well as it's proper
display image. Even then, the text must be specifically included, and it must
not be protected by digital rights management technology (an option in Adobe
creation software and third party add-ons for creating PDF files).

Subject: PDF Authoring Standards for Accessibility
Here, at my place of work, I have been asked about what standards exist for
authoring PDF documents which ensure that they are accessible to adaptive
technology (ie: JAWS etc). Does anyone know if PDF accessibility authoring
standards exist and where might I find them?
In my experience, I have encountered PDFs that are quite easy to read,
while others are quite impossible. I don't know what makes the difference
though to advise our PDF authors here.
Any help is appreciated.
