is a good place to start.
When a document gets written in Microsoft Word, its language is made part 
of that document.  If that document is later converted to a pdf file that 
language information is taken in by the conversion process then becomes 
the first component that starts to make screen reader accessibility of a 
pdf file possible.  Other components exist, but without that language 
attribute presence, screen reader accessibility is disabled.  Another 
major requirement is ocr scanned content pictures by themselves in pdf 
files are worthless to screen readers.  I'm using speakup over here on 
archlinux and am curious if it is now possible or some day will be 
possible for me to export to a screen reader accessible pdf file I can 
share with other screen reader users with no fear that the file won't be 
accessible.

Let's try this with a slightly better url.

My point is blind people that go down the emacs route when learning linux 
get introduced to org-mode as part of that process.  If they colaborate 
with other blind emacs users on a job that requires them to use pdf files 
as colaboration documents, are those blind emacs and org-mode users going 
to be able to read each other's official documents and have management 
that required the use of pdf documents in the first place also able to 
read those documents?
I take it there's no problem using adobe reader on windows to read an 
org-exported pdf file.  I may have to use windows and adobe reader on 
windows and find an org-mode pdf-export file and do a full accessibility 
check on it with windows before this question gets answered.  Thanks for 
your time and interest.
