Thank you Brad, I'll look these documents over when I have more time.

Olaf Schmidt mentioned that we ought to have support for Accessibility PDF 
docs in KDE and that should be a goal for KPDF.  I doubt however that most 
documents are Accessibility PDF, so we still need a solution for them.  
Someone should also take a look at the PDF printer and other PDF output 
capabilities in KDE to ensure they produce Accessibile PDF.  I am pretty sure 
the PDF Printer does not as it tends to produce image only.

The best place for accessibility discussions would be the 
kde-accessibility.kde.org mailing list.  Subscribe at 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility

On the other hand, perhaps it should be discussed in front of the PDF 
developers.  Where do most hang out?
