I dare say it's theoretically possible, the PDF specification  
supports accessible tagging, and Acrobat Reader 7 reportedly works  
with Gnopernicus on Solaris and Linux[1].  Peter Korn at Sun is  
probably a good person to talk to about this, but from what I  
remember of previous conversations, it's a pretty serious amount of  
work.

Cheeri,
