[Athen] tips for converting a photoshop doc to accessible pdf

Howard, Photoshopknows only bit maps. So to get real text you gotta use
OCR. By the way, the OCR in MS Document Image Writer, which is part of MS
Office, is excellent.

So you mean if you create a file in photoshop - I created this file -
there's no way to save it or export it from photoshop to an accessible pdf
format (without doing ocr on the export)?

Thanks for all your input.
