Re: [Phys-l] Using LaTeX to make .pdf documents with accessible images

[Jack Uretsky <jlu@hep.anl.gov>]

Hi Alex,
	I have ben using LaTeX for many years, and your quesiion seems to 
me to have insufficient facts.  W#ha kind of platform are you using, and 
what program.  I'd guess that you'r on a Mac OSX platform, right?
			Regards,

(I'll worry about equations next, right now it's one step at a time.)  I don't see an option for this in the \includegraphics command.  I know that LaTeX2html can create accessible html documents with alt tags on the images, but what if I want to create a .pdf rather than an html document?  I did a lot of Googling, and I checked Lamport's book, and I found nothing.
