TL;DR: This talk presents a report on work-in-progress, aimed at developing the primitive commands for pdfTEX needed to support the production of fully tagged PDF documents, and writing appropriate TEX and LTEX macros to make effective use of the new primitives.
Abstract: Recently PDF has been accepted as a standard for production of electronic documents, as ISO 32000-1:2008, with an acronym of PDF/UA (for “Universal Accessibility”). The second draft ISO 32000-2:2009 is to include specifications for including MathML tagging of mathematical environments and expressions. This talk presents a report on work-in-progress, aimed at: developing the primitive commands for pdfTeX needed to support the production of fully tagged PDF documents; writing appropriate TeX and LaTeX macros to make effective use of the new primitives; authoring changes to internal LaTeX structures to use these macros automatically at appropriate places within the existing code-base for LaTeX. This is work that is being undertaken together with Han Thế Thanh, author of pdfTeX [Thanh, Han Thế; Thesis – pdfTeX, published as: TUGboat, 21:4, (2000). http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents21-4.html], who has added some new primitive commands to an experimental version of this software tool.

TL;DR: This paper describes the implementation of the PDF Accessibility Validation Engine, a web based application for identifying and correcting accessibility issues in PDF documents based on the PDF/UA standard.
Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of the PDF Accessibility Validation Engine (PAVE). PAVE is a web based application for identifying and correcting accessibility issues in PDF documents. The accessibility analysis is based on the PDF/UA standard.

TL;DR: This workshop explores how to create accessible PDF documents, from within Adobe Acrobat and other applications, and how accessibility has been built into forthcoming ISO standards (PDF/UA, PDF 32000-2).
Abstract: Accessibility features in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) help facilitate access to electronic information for people with disabilities. This workshop explores how to create accessible PDF documents, from within Adobe Acrobat and other applications; how to use the Adobe Acrobat PDF accessibility checker and repair workflow; best practices for accessibility; and how accessibility has been built into forthcoming ISO standards (PDF/UA, PDF 32000-2).

TL;DR: A mapping table between WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria and clauses in the PDF/UA-1 standard is discussed to point out, how and why PDF/ UA-1 can indeed be described as an application of WCAG2.0 principles to PDF.
Abstract: PDF/UA-1 is an upcoming ISO standard defining accessible PDF It claims to apply principles established by W3C's WCAG 20 to the world of PDF documents This paper discusses a mapping table between WCAG 20 Success Criteria and clauses in the PDF/UA-1 standard to point out, how and why PDF/UA-1 can indeed be described as an application of WCAG 20 principles to PDF It is to be expected that this as a consequence will speed up adoption of PDF/UA-1 in the field of accessible electronic content
