    If you want to see what your program does and doesn't do. I made a little youtube video.

    For entertainment and edification purposes (because your people really should learn how to do things logically.... This is what your website "tutorials" look like to someone who is blind:

    I have no idea what you mean by "workflows" so I will be as simplistic as possible with you. In other words, I'll use small words. I will, for example, go to create a pdf from a file or a combination of files. I get the file (ex. your stupid Bodea Brochure with all its errors in it) and try to start working with it. I go to, for example, manage tools, then edit tools (because your dumb brochure has typos). However, because your program is designed for sighted people and you haven't made this part of the program ADA compliant, genius, the editing boxes won't put a cursor in the text box so that a blind person can edit the text; can't "see" and, thus, maneuver/move the images around (because they aren't labelled (even if they had been labelled properly outside of Acrobat).... I can keep going down the damned list you fool but really you don't want me doing this in public. I have talked to your techs several times over the past year and you've done NOTHING. What I've been told is it's a "known" issue and "sorry" you'll just have to get a sighted person to do that for you. Which translates to: "F*** you. We here at Adobe don't care just pay us our money we get credit for making everyone else do ADA compliance for you but we don't have to do it."
