By accessibility I mean improving access to
the information for people with disabilities. One of the ways PDF does that is
by tagging the output to assist screen readers as well as alternative
(non-mouse) access to links. Accessibility is a big issue for any company that
is working with, or plans to work with, the government in the US or the EU.
XML transforms to PDF should be an easy
way to create tagged PDFs since the meta-data is already there. Other XML
transformation engines (like RenderX's XEP) support this, and I certainly
hope print composer does as well.
I've filed a ticket with Arbortext,
and I let you know what they say.

Hi Steve,
What do you mean by accessible. I often use Epic to
create PDF files whitch are automatically created in one of those directories :
<span<br/>style='font-size:12.0pt'> <font<br/>size=2 face=Arial>
depending of the acrobat version, I think.
(I can send you the batch if that is your problem)
Otherwise, if you want to modify the PDF file
created, you must have Adobe Acrobat 7.0, Standard.
