[Athen] Anyone tried PDF Accessibility Wizard????????

[Ken Petri]

Hi Norm,

The University System of Ohio is buying multiple licenses for distribution
at reduced cost within the system.

PAW is a wizard for Word that walks the user through a series of checks and
provides straight-forward means for correcting accessibility problems. It
then generates the PDF. The PDFs it generates tend to have cleaner tag
structures than what Acrobat produces, especially with regard to table
output and source order. NetCentric is also working on a PAW for PowerPoint,
which we are hoping will be released later this year.

Best regards,
ken
