Name: Armony ALTINIER Email Address: aaltinier at april.org Subject: Scribus and digitial accessibility Message: Hi! My name is Armony, I am French and I coordinate the Workgroup "Accessibility and Free Software"of the association "April", French advocacy association devoted to promote and protect Free/Libre Software in France (5300 members). The goal of the Workgroup is to sensitize people about making free software accessible to everyone, especially disabled people. We are trying to create accessible documents, and we noticed that only Acrobat Professional has a function for adding accessibility tags to PDF documents (see http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf). But maybe we can create accessible PDF directly with Scribus? We can do it with Open Office, is there a function to add accessibility tags on Scribus? We looked for it but didn't find it... I wondering if you were working on it? Or maybe you know another way of tagging a PDF document to make it accessible? It's a really big gap for Accessibility and Free Software. Thanks by advance for your answer. Cheers, Armony About your Scribus program: Version: 1.3.3.14 Prebuilt/Compiled: Prebuilt Build Date: Your operating system and CPU: Type: Linux Version: Ubuntu 10.4 CPU type: 32bit (Intel/AMD - i386) The results of this submission may be viewed at: http://www.scribus.net/?q=node/158/submission/439
