Come on Adobe! Illustrator and Acrobat are so similar, so much so that you can continue to edit a PDF after you save it out of Illustrator, yet there are ZERO accessibility features in Illustrator.
Before all you keyboard warriors jump on me about using InDesign instead of Illustrator, lets talk real world usage. I create single one page ads, with images, graphics and custom text. I am not using Illustrator for multipage documents... In these single page documents, there are custom masks for images, text treatments, etc. stuff that InDesign doesn't do. So in the world that you want me to use InDesign it takes 4 times longer, as I have to create it in Illustrator, save it out, jump into InDesign place it, etc. if it needs tweaks, rinse and repeat.
Now the State of Colorado has mandated that all PDF's hosted by us (a govt. agency) has to be Accessible. Now I have to open Acrobat and try to figure out how to make a PDF accessible that should have been easily tagged in Illustrator. And trying to use Acrobat to fix accessibility is like learning to program C++ using Russian tutorials...
Please Adobe quit the AI crap of Text to Image malarkey and make some headway in accessibility, after all PDF's are your game and it needs to be fixed.
