OK. Well gpdf looks very likely to be in GNOME 2.4, so hopefully the
accessibility people can start talking with the gpdf people. A gpdf mailing
list might help with that.

So should this be a blocker for adding gpdf to GNOME? Personally I think not
- I understand that an inaccessible module can be worse than no module at
all for disabled people, but I don't think that's the case here because
pdf-viewing is not an essential part of the desktop environment.
