Accessibility Features in Adobe Reader 7

PDF files are nortorious for lack of accessibility. Even worse, many college and university professors (and even administrative assistants) think that converted Word files to PDF files is the quick and easiest way to post content to the web. Well it is, but it is also not the best way. Since Section 508 became law manufacturers have scrambled to incorporate accessibility hooks into their products. PDF files are still a pain to make accessibility but with version 7 of Acrobat Reader out things will be a bit easier. Now if we can just get people to make to actually use these new features to create accessible PDFs!
