According to the documentation I read for pandoc, it does not handle PDF files of any type.

Hi Don,
Does any of this stuff add accessibility tags to PDF?

Thanks.

I use a wrapper product called markup-binder, which makes a binder of
documentation on a tree of structured text to create a vinder.  It uses
pandoc to convert the mark-down text files to generate an HTML 'site'.
Information is available at:
www.a-technic.net/MarkupBinder/docs/Manual

I use it in Vinux, which is a distrobution for the blind and visually
Impaired.  It is available at vinux.org.uk.  markup-binder is a package in
Vinux.  Pandoc is available in the same manner from Ubuntu and Debian
repositories.

To install MarkupBinder in Vinux do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install markup-binder

There are utilities in Ubuntu, such as pandoc, which perform
conversions between LaTeX, ePub, HTML, and other markup / markdown
formats.  It is cross platform and is available free for Windows as
well.  Do you have access to the LaTeX version of the documents or just
the PDF?

For most of them, I can have both LaTeX and PDF version, but for some
others I can only have the PDF one.
Do you have a link ? HTML or structured text formats like wiki or markdown
seem interesting to me.
Primarily  for windows XP or 7 32 bits as standalone application if
possible, but if you have command-line debian linux version I should find
a way to use it via php scripts from my windows.

For those I don't have LaTeX version, that's another problem...
