Re: [WSG] PDF Conversion
You could put all your pdfs on Google docs and they will be available like any other web documents like this one: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=vpid=explorerchrome=truesrcid=0B1iqp0kGPjWsZjA2MTFmMTQtM2ZmYS00OWU2LWI4NjMtMzEyMjYwMjYzOGI3hl=en hth --- On Wed, 9/2/11, Neeraj Challana neeraj.mail...@gmail.com wrote: From: Neeraj Challana neeraj.mail...@gmail.com Subject: [WSG] PDF Conversion To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Date: Wednesday, 9 February, 2011, 2:18 Hi all, We need a tool to help us convert our many existing PDF documents into Word and/or HTML to improve the accessibility of our web and intranet content. While there are tools (both freeware and licence ware) available, I would like to get some recommendations and experience of other organisations in selecting and using of such conversion tools. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [WSG] PDF Conversion
Hi Kerry. Neither the blind user or I were suggesting that alternatives were not a good idea, or even a requirement. I'd always recommend providing an HTML alternative if possible along with accessible (tagged) PDF. The question was about Word as as a viable alternative to PDF. I am not sure it is. Though others may disagree! I agree to the fact that HTML approach is the best. I normally use Google docs they can open any documents - pdfs, word, excel, images etc like any other html document. See the link: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=vpid=explorerchrome=truesrcid=0B1iqp0kGPjWsZjA2MTFmMTQtM2ZmYS00OWU2LWI4NjMtMzEyMjYwMjYzOGI3hl=en It is just a sample page I have created for demonstration purposes with inadvertent typos!. It is just a simple pdf file but displayed in your browser and requires no plugs of any kind. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

It is just a simple pdf file but displayed in your browser and requires no plugs of any kind. Looks like it just converted it to an image ... not really accessible to anyone using a screenreader or not able to view images! Did the original pdf have any text in it (or did it just contain an image)? *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
