Right now any dynamic document generation for PDF will not support the
tagged format (which is necessary to make accessible).
I've talked to Adobe til I'm blue in the face. Maybe some others saying the
same thing will help.
Historically, Macromedia used 3rd party libraries to create PDF's via
CFDocument and the report generator. Since Adobe bought Macromedia, they
can use their libraries and the tagged PDF format in CF, but they haven't
done the work to change out the libraries. It would be a huge boon,
especially to government clients (who are not happy when I tell them that
dynamically generated PDF's cannot be made accessible).

I guess you did not an answer on this. It seems pretty silly of Adobe to
give us a great tag but leave it crippled. These days, there is simply no
excuse for inaccessible web pages, pdfs, or docs.
-- remaining flex-free until it is accessible too
