Andre,
A tactic as you suggest would not work as one of the requirement is
for the reader to have control over the colours of text and
background. Something they have with PDFs (certainly using Acrobat
Reader you can)
I think part of the problem is that people don't understand why I
just don't use PowerPoint like everyone else.

Having now been using Beamer for a few days and been very pleased
with it
as a replacement for PowerPoint, I'm now told that I "must"
provide my
students access to PowerPoints of my presentations. However,
having used
Beamer there is no way I am going back to PowerPoint.
I usually responded to such requirements by producing bitmap
version of
the ps/pdf document in question and include them in an otherwise empty
doc. This gives really ugly results, is pretty unusable, but conforms
to the rules. When I offered the original .pdf as alternative, guess
what suddenly became "acceptable"...
Lucky me does not have to produce paperwork anymore...
Apparently, PDFs, do not provide the same support for accessibility
requirements (SENDA in the UK and section 508 in the US). I can't
see how
exactly, but thems the rules it seems.
Following rules by the letter usually does not give the intended
result.
People tend to learn that quickly ;-)
