Hi :)
Yes, the more bug-reports the better. Especially very specific ones that
might
be fairly easy to fix. There is a fork called NeoOffice that is targeted at
Macs and doesn't use the X system.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Should Writer export taggedPDF and
bookmarks by default?
Hi guys,
I'm reading this tread with great interest.
I am not an expert-user of Libreoffice (the mac os X' version is still very
inaccessible!), but I wonder if libreoffice is able to perform a "serious"
accessibility check on PDF documents, not limited, of course, to the tags...
If it isn't, it should be great if this feature could be implemented in this
suite...
Libreoffice needs really more work on accessibility (I tested the MAC OS X'
version)...
By the way, about two months ago we were talking about the "accessibility
issues" in the mac OS X' version of LO. I would like to help to fix them..Do
you
think i should report them as bugs?
Vincenzo.

Hi Tom,

Sure.
Perhaps add "[wishlist]" to the subject-line?
OK, I did not know that tag existed.
I think post the bug-report now rather than leaving it. Any small
improvement
in accessibility should be a priority in my opinion. Sometimes the
defaults are
not really thought about and are easy to change which helps new devs learn
how
to do coding :) A good win for everyone.
Is there a down-side to having Pdfs tagged by default? What does the
tagged
option do?
"Tagged PDF contains information about the structure of the document
contents.
This can help to display the document on devices with different screens,
and
when using screen reader software. "
(<http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Export_as_PDF#Tagged_PDF>)
Exporting an inaccessible document as "tagged PDF" may give people the
impression that a document is accessible when they do only a superficial
check
(e.g. Adobe Reader's so-called accessibility check only checks whether the
PDF
is tagged or not).
I would also want to avoid that authors get the false idea that checking
"tagged PDF" is all they need to do to produced accessible PDF. (Although I
doubt that changing the default setting will make a difference to this type
of
authors.)
Best regards,
Christophe

Subject: [libreoffice-accessibility] Should Writer export tagged PDF and
bookmarks by default?
Hi, I have been thinking about ways to improve accessible authoring in
LibreOffice Writer. As far as I know, Writer (in OpenOffice.org and in
LibreOffice) is the only open source office software that can export
tagged PDF,
which is important for accessibility. When you open the PDF Options dialog
(File
-> Export as PDF...), the options "Tagged PDF" and "Export bookmarks" on
the
General tab and the option "Bookmarks and page" on the Initial View tab
are
unchecked by default. When you check them, they remain checked for later
export
commands. However, wouldn't it be better if these options were checked by
default? Checking these options does not magically make your PDF documents
accessible, because that depends on the quality of the ODF source. So
should we
request this feature now or should we wait until an accessibility checker
for
Writer becomes available? Best regards, Christophe
