    Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm trying to make a PDF that complies with the rules for accessibility. So my footnotes will be read in order with a "read out loud" program (that is paragraph, corresponding footnote, back to paragraph etc.).

    I've read that making a PDF from some versions of Word will do this for you. I'm using Indesign 5 (not 5.5).

    You'll need Acrobat Pro to apply these settings to your PDF.
    As far as I remember the options are in the Accessibility drop down on the right under Tools.

    Thanks, as my document is quite long (100+ pages), I'd hoped to find a way for Indesign to automatically applying these settings. From what I understand in Acrobat you can only manually update reading order.
