Re: [orca-list] Trouble accessing Acrobat in Ubuntu 9.04 x64

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bill:

PDF accessibility is a can of worms.  The discussion flares up here from 
time to time, with the main results being the same: 1) Adobe has some 
work to do, and 2) Evince seems like the best place to invest in for an 
open source accessible PDF viewer.  We need a qualified person to step 
up to take control of the Evince task.

In the mean time, you can kind of make Acroread limp along, but the a11y 
support is somewhat suboptimal: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Acroread
