anyone used the CommonLook Section 508 plug-in? I have heard it is *very*

<DIV>Greetings Kathy!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think the web expert you should consult is Karen McCall, <A
href="http://www.iprimus.ca/~martha/PDF-resources.htm"
target=blank>http://www.iprimus.ca/~martha/PDF-resources.htm</A> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have also been exploring a new program know as Common Look, <A
href="http://www.eliquo.ca/access/acrobataccess.htm"
target=blank>http://www.eliquo.ca/access/acrobataccess.htm</A> which I've
also found to be an impressive tool.<BR></DIV>
