[xep-support] Accessible PDF documents

[Simon Dingle]

When I try and run an accessibility check on a pdf which has been
produced with xep-pdf-linearize set to 'true', I get an error message -'
invalid type parameter supplied to a PDS procedure'.

Can you pls confirm that ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY is incompatible with the
xep-pdf-linearize option.

Regards,

Simon

Hello Simon,

Creating accessible PDF files in XEP requires special actions to be 
performed both in PDF generator and on earlier stages. 
ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY is a core option and in this sense it is different 
from other pure-backend features. Thus there is no way to implement it 
for processing instructions.

For a web-based usage I would suggest to have two instances of XEP (one 
created with ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY, and the other one created without 
it). Your application would than have to take care about choosing the 
proper XEP instance depending on user request.
