Siegfried,
Thanks, I have read the document you gave the link to, or at least
the Acrobat 7 version, and I was using this a guide, assuming it
would also meet the SENDA requirements as I am in the UK.
But I think the argument revolves around very specialist software for
very unusual disabilities, that work with PowerPoint but not PDF.
Having said that, I am struggling to really understand the reasoning,
and decided to just buy a converter.
But as with all these things it is useful to hear comments form
people who have tried a bit of software out. Some programs that
initially look promising often turn out to be less than you had hoped
for.

Another solution is to make de PDF accessible, see this document :

I don't know if Powerpoints are by themself more accessible than
PDF. I think that the above document can give arguments to show
that a given document conforms to the accessibilty rules.
With Adobe Reader, you can verify if your document can pose
problems. I checked a PDF presentation produced with the Beamer
package (an LyX), and yes, there is a problem due to the fact that
the structure of the document is complex. I think it's the TOC
which is present on every slide.
Hope it helps.
Siegfried.
