Hi, The Adobe suite of products tend to use numerous custom elements that are not visible to VO. The basic framework is present, but, the ability to Interact and/or manipulate just about anything is limited or non-existent. We have Adobe CS6 in a couple of our facilities and I have had no success playing around with them from an accessibility point of view. Adobe is moving towards their Creative Cloud which is quite an interesting product. We have not decided if we’re going to go that way yet but the possibilities are there for accessibility in this model, although, I don’t believe that much progress in accessibility has been realized yet. In discussions with some Adobe representatives, accessibility does seem to be a priority, I’m just not sure that it is a priority across the board. It will take some major re-working of most of their software.
