To add to Brian's message:
Microsoft's new plug-in to save as PDF seems to work fairly
well. I have not put it through it's paces yet.
It claims to create accessible documents. It does have
a few options, such as create PDF bookmarks automatically
using either Word bookmarks or headings. I was
surprised, however, that the Word styles like "Heading level
1" and so on were not recognized by JAWS in the Acrobat
Reader as headings. I am glad to see Microsoft move in
this direction! They also seem to allow saving in Open
Office format.

> Hello,

> Writer (part of the OpenOffice.ORG suite) will export
Word documents to PDF files. You can do a custom
install and only install Writer if you don't want the other
programs in the suite installed. When you pick
customize you will be presented with a tree view of
components. You can press spacebar on each one to
choose to have the given component installed or not
enabled. Of course you need to leave the suite on
level 0 checked, but the programs listed on level 1 can be
installed or left out of the installation. After
installing Writer, you should run the JAVA accessibility
bridge so it will recognize Writer as a JAVA application and
then restart your system.

> When you open a Word document in Writer or when you
create a document, open the file menu and use down arrow to
the export choice. PDF will be a choice. In the
next step of the wizard you might need to use the JAWS
cursor and find the graphic before the "tagged PDF"
choice. use a left mouse button click simulation on
the graphic. use JAWS cursor to find the button to
proceed at the bottom of the window and do a left click
simulation on that button. It seems to do a good job
tagging, as I use the accessibility version of Acrobat and
there was no tagging needed for the exported PDF file.

the SaveAsPDFAndXPS plug-in from Microsoft and then you can
save as PDF in the normal Save As dialog.

>> Hello all,
>>
>> I just wanted to share my experience these
tools. I tried the
>> www.zamzar.com online service, and it did not
create an accessible pdf.
>> Although it did convert Word doc files to a pdf
file, the pdf was not tagged
>> and thus not accessible. To be a little
"techie", the difference is that
>> Acrobat Standard/Pro uses a plugin called "PDF
Maker" for the conversion

tagging. Whereas, Zamzar uses

or "Creator v2.1", which

>>
>> I also tried GhostWord, which is a free software
download, and the first
>> thing I noticed is that the most recent file is
from 2004. This is

necessary for accessible
>> PDFs where not really in the market then.
When I tried to open the
>> installation file for the most recent version
(2.1), I keep getting the
>> error message "The Compressed Folder is invalid or
corrupted". The other
>> problem I noticed is that it will only work with
Word 2000 or Word 98. So,

me know.
