The PDF reader in Google Chrome is giving me better results than anything else at the moment, on any
operating system. I haven't yet tried it under Linux, however.
Unfortunately, it doesn't implement tagged PDF yet, but that's apparently on the way. On the other hand, very
few of the PDF files I receive are tagged anyway. Pdfinfo is the best tool for finding out whether a PDF file
is tagged or not.

Hello,
Are there any *really accessible* pdf readers on linux?
Note, I do not consider evince accessible enough. First, if you turn the caret browsing on, you can leave the
document with tab or f6, but of course you can never ever return to it.
Second, I could not press pdf links using the enter key.
Third, although that is likely least fatal, it does not recognize tables. Although to be honest sometimes
when tables have many columns and rows it actually becomes fatal.
When it goes to converting to html or text, they often lose much of the formatting, and for quick looking
this way is not always appropriate.
Especially converting to text loses everything that allows quick navigation.
