As I said earlier, some .pdf's can be made accessible in the later versions of Acrobat Standard and Professional under Tools and Accessibility.
For those type of documents you can also open your .pdf document and do a "save as" and save it as a .doc or .rtf.
It will tell you if you cannot save it as a .doc or .rtf. It depends on how the .pdf was originally created.

Hi,
Sorry I am a bit late on this. While I haven't got a direct answer, I wrote
an article about PDFs and Accessibility which might provide you with some
useful information.

I know some large organisations (at least one bank) use tools to
automatically convert PDFs to RTF - however, they have to then translate the
information contained in things like graphs and flow charts by hand.

Subject: [WSG] PDF to HTML conversions
Hi,
The WE04 was great but unfortunately none of the speakers discussed the
issue of making PDF files accessible. I am currently facing this
problem.
Does anyone have ideas about the tools in market to convert PDF into
HTML or any other ways to make the PDF files accessible.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks
Bhuvnesh Chaudhry
