Hi Fran,

an impressive tool.

That link actually took me to a web accessibility and testing service
provider. I think the actual tool you may be referring to is available at:
http://www.commonlook.com/products/cl_s508_adobe.aspx

Has anyone used the CommonLook Section 508 plug-in? I have heard it is
*very* expensive, but I am curious as to how it compares to other tools.

Take care,
Sean

Greetings Kathy!

I think the web expert you should consult is Karen McCall,
http://www.iprimus.ca/~martha/PDF-resources.htm She is a regular presenter
at the Accessing Higher Ground Conference in Boulder, CO. I attended her
session in November and found her to have the BEST information on this
topic.

We have also been exploring a new program know as Common Look,
http://www.eliquo.ca/access/acrobataccess.htm which I've also found to be an
impressive tool.
