Did you run a full accessibility report on the file first? There may have been no tags in the file in the right place to save like outside of the structure. See if you can do a full accessibility report and save comments in the pdf file then return that to the author. You may need to save the original pdf file to another file name on your machine to do this first.

I got a PDF. I put it into Adobe Reader 8. The program did a good job at applying the accessibility tags. I tried to save it as a text file. I got some sort of error about Reader not being able to save the tag information. I tried to explain to the author what the problem was, but I don't know which permissions control what very well. Does anyone know how to deal with this sort of thing? Thanks. Jim ---------- Jim Homme, Usability Engineering. 412-544-1810. "A vision without a task is but a dream.
