Description marcozehe 2009-09-16 09:58:11 UTC 
When saving any OpenOffice document to PDF, in order for that PDF to be properly
read by screen readers, one currently has to turn on accessibility tags by hand.
The majority of users will create inaccessible PDFs without even knowing it.

This is to request that accessibility tag inclusion is turned on by default in
future versions of OpenOffice. This will create unsignificantly larger PDF
files, but will make sure PDFs are accessible out of the box, making creating
accessible PDF files a transparent process.

This is still an open issue in Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0: when you want to export a document to PDF, the checkbox "Tagged PDF" in the PDF Options dialog is unchecked in a fresh installation.

After implementing PDF/UA (see comment 7 in bug 31324), this checkbox may be renamed to "PDF Universal Accessibility" (or "PDF UA", which fewer people would understand, I think).
