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

[Ken Petri]

Right, Norm, PowerPoint is next on their agenda for plug-ins. Again, it will
be a wizard that outputs PowerPoint to accessible PDF. NetCentric's primary
business is accessible PDF: Remediation, generation, spidering evaluation.

Best,
ken
