Is the OBPM Workspace application section 508 Compliant

Our customers need the application to be section 508 compliant. Is the out of the box ...OBPM workspace application compliant or would we have to build our own user interface and use papi to interact with BPM?

Meyers,
You will need to chat with either Oracle Support or PWC should have a Oracle Sales channel or something that can get you this information. I remember reading that they where heading in that direction... other than that it was not an issue for me.

Is Discoverer 4.1 section 508 compliant

I would like to get any documentation if any that states that Discoverer 4.1 or the Oracle Discoverer 9iAS version is section 508 compliant. Section 508 requirements describe the design features and constraints needed to support persons with disabilities.

Can Adobe Forms Central produce Section 508 compliant web forms?

Hello! I've been investigating using Adobe Forms to create a survey for a product I'm creating. While I love the functionality available to me, when I tested the preview of the form I created, WAVE Accessibility Checker noted the form a lot of errors associated with it.
I'm curious if there is a method by which one can make the survey 508 Compliant, or if plans were in the works to add this functionality?

This page documents our level of 508 compliance:

Section 508 Accessibility

We have a government client that requires our fillable PDF forms be Section 508 compliant. I have run the accessibility report on my end, using Acrobat 8 Pro, and the doc passes. On their end, it has one item that fails. I do not know what version they are using. They say they can fix this, but I have to unlock one section. However, as far as I can see, all sections of the PDF are unlocked.
Here is a link to the doc in question: http://asiflex.com/test2/fsadcap%20claim%20form.pdf
I've spent a lot of time messing around and googling for answers, but can't find anything. Any thoughts on how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.

Quick clarifying question: When you ask about a potential third party tool to tag documents, are you looking for something that will automatically generate tags or allow you to manually set them? I would assume that you would want to manually set them as automatic tagging isn't the best for creating Section 508 compliant reports.
Acrobat Pro has tagging capabilities on PDFs that were created using other applications. You can read about it in the following document. This was based on Acrobat Pro 6; however, the same principles should apply.
[http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf|http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf]
I am continuing to research your options and will get back to this thread shortly.

Cp 5.5, Section 508 Accessibility - Is it possible to create a skip tag in the Accessibility dialog?

Hi,
We're working with a US Federal client so our Captivates need to fully Section 508 compliant. We've been able to work out strategies for all the elements of our course except one:
In order to auto-play each slide, then have it pause until the user chooses to move forward using the playbar, we've added a click box to each slide. We would like for JAWS to skip reading the click bos, since it is not used as anything other than an automatic pause. If we could use the Accessibility dialog to create a skip tag for the click boxes, that would be ideal.
Here's our experience so far:
If we leave the Accessibility dialog in default (Auto Label checked), JAWS read "click box" - acceptable but not ideal
If we uncheck Auto Label and leave Name and Description empty, JAWS reads "unlabeled button" - unacceptable
If we uncheck Auto Label and populate Name and Description with empty quotation marks, JAWS reads "quote quote" - unacceptable
Appreciate any techniques you've come up with -
Thanks,
KN

ApEx and Section 508 compliance

1. Is ApEx section 508 compliant? 
2. Any documentation available on this topic? 
(Section 508: employees with disabilities need to have access to information and data in a manner comparable to the access and use by employees who are not individuals with disabilities) Vasan

Hello,
1. Is ApEx section 508 compliant? APEX can build 100% 508/DDA compliant applications. What Apex does not do is enforce 508/DDA compliance nor does it automatically insert accessibility features. Tab index's shortcuts to skip navigation , proper headings etc. This is left up to the developer to do so that you can properly address your application and or organizations accessibility requirements.
One thing that is sometimes a sticking point is APEX's use of javascript. While you can create an APEX application that does not use javascript it has quite limited functionality. APEX does follow Oracle's stance on accessibility and javascript.
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/standards.html
JAWS testing has also taken place with APEX and with properly built applications and the applications work great.
2. Any documentation available on this topic? Building an accessible application in APEX is exactly like building an accessible application in any HTML environment. Set your tabindex's correctly, make sure data tables have proper headings , make sure that labels are properly linked to form items and such. There used to be a APEX and accisislbuity blog posting but I don't think it's available anymore. Searching this forum will also return you some results.
Most accessibility issues come from improperly constructed templates, and making sure that page report and label templates have accessible features usually takes care of most issues.
Our VPAT can be found here http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/templates/t780.htm and is currently being updated to cover all versions up to 3.1 , there have only been minor changes.
APEX is also going to start taking advantage of ARIA features http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria so that developers can more easily create rich interactive applications that still can use AJAX and other DHTML features. But there is no reason you can't start including ARIA features in your applications today.

Carl

508 Compliant Skins

Does anybody know where I may get a skin that I can use with
WebHelp that is section 508 compliant. During generation of the
Hlp, RoboHelp asks if your application has to be 508 compliant. If
the box is checked, it will not apply any skins and without skins,
the Search does not have a text box, where users would be able to
enter text to search for. I am wondering if some one have developed
a skin, that is 508 compliant, but has a text box build in the
Search navigation. Currently the Search is managed via a list of
links.

Hi all and welcome to the community prabhatkk
Ummm, I certainly don't mean to be argumentative, but if you
look at the output options for WebHelp, you will notice that if you
choose to enable Section 508 compliancy, the ability to use skins
is lost. This tells me that skins in and of themselves (or possibly
by their very nature) don't lend themselves to being compliant.
When you think about it, it does make sense. Section 508 is
geared toward disabled individuals. Normally, this means they are
using screen readers to "display" their browsing experience. All
those pretty visual elements would be totally lost and wasted on
someone visually impaired.
Usually I will recommend generating WebHelp twice to two
different folders. One folder containing a skinned system and
another containing the Section 508 compliant system. Then you can
do one of a couple of things.
1. Offer a link from the web site that will open either
version.
2. Within a skinned WebHelp system, have a link that opens
the Section 508 compliant version.
Cheers... Rick

508-compliant hot spots impossible?

I'm trying to reach a definitive answer for a decision on
whether to purchase/recommend Captivate to my client.
I trying to create Section 508-compliant hot spots over an
existing screen shot (i.e., to simulate text hyperlinks that a
screen reader such as JAWS will read). Exploring my options with
click boxes and buttons, here's what I've found:
1. Click boxes do not allow alternative text.
2. Text buttons are the only button type that allows
alternate text, but the text cannot be made transparent, so they
are useless if I want to use them as hot spots.
Therefore, I've concluded Captivate cannot simulate text
hyperlinks that will be read by a screen reader. Can anyone prove
me wrong?

Clinton, thanks for the suggestion of trying NetSpot. The application sounds like it might be helpful for general network assessment although I'm not sure if it can provide much assistance in this situation.
I believe the internet connectivity issues I'm experiencing have more to do with whatever kind of "sensing" that the router/hotspot uses. Generally when I go to a new hotspot, after choosing it in my list of avalable networks, a hotspot window will automatically open asking for my agreement to the terms of useage. That never happened at the hotspot I was having trouble with. I was able to choose the hotspot, had an excellent signal strength and was assigned an IP but never got any further than that.
So I'm not sure what NetSpot will be able to do for me in that situation but I'll download it and try it.

Section 508 Compliance - Spry Menu

I work for the government and am wondering if you could help
me figure out how I can (or if it's even possible) make the spry
menu features in Dreamweaver Section 508 Compliant, so that people
who have screen readers or Java Script turned off would still be
able to access the spry menu items. When we run the pages that have
spry menus through Dreamweaver's accessibility report it just
relays to us the fact that we are using Java script and we need to
provide a "noscript" tag. Do you have any ideas on how we could
accommodate this in our new web site design?
Thanks! Eleanor

Screen readable output (section 508)

Hi Everyone,
I've been tasked with finding a way of generating screen
readable output rom RH which is section 508 compliant.
By this I mean not having to use the mouse and use keystrokes
only. A customer has suggested that a tagged PDF was one of the
most accessible forms in which to deliver a help system. I'm not
convinced from previous experience and aalso at present PDF output
fails to complile anyway.
Any one tangled with this one? I am using RH6.

Thanks Colum and Peter for your prompt replies. I have
generated a web help output that is section 508 ticked but I still
seem to need to use the mouse. Mind you that's probably my lack of
experience! Any more thought greatly appreciated!

Generating 508 compliant output for access via SharePoint

In order to make our WebHelp application accessible via a Sharepoint folder, our team lead was able to move all output files (from the ISSL/WebHelp folder) to a single folder then move the files from the resource, whdata, whgdata and whxdata folders to the same [new] location so that all files associated with the RoboHelp WebHelp project are in the same area. Next, he edited the whproj.xml file and changed the datapath from "whxdata" to " " (null). This works fine for primary layout output that isn't 508 compliant, so I duplicated the same steps after generating 508 compliant output to see if I'd get the same results. After moving all files to a single folder and uploading to a test server (not Sharepoint), the table of contents page [frame] "can't be found". I know that the toc tag in the whtoc.xml file has a root attribute that points to "whtdata0.xml". This file is in the same folder as everything else. So why does it not show the TOC?
Thanks,
Developer2000

Perhaps the best way to answer this is to ask what your response would be if your support people came along to you saying a customer didn't like the structure of the folders in your application so they had rearranged them and now it would no longer work, what should they do?
Perhaps best not to post the reply here.
The folders and files that RoboHelp generates have many inter-dependencies and it could be some are in files you cannot edit. Who knows? It is not something Adobe would document and I have not seen anyone post anything that would help you.

Section 508 - Help

We are just beginning to work with Captivate and trying to
test the 508 compliancy issues. Does anyone know of a website that
used Captivate that is 508 compliant that we can run some tests
on?

Hello linwood,
Whilst I don't have any web sites I can point you to. Here is
information on what Adobe Captivate does to be Section 508
compliant.
What does Adobe Captivate do to be Section 508 compliant?
Selecting the 508 compliance option makes certain elements in
Adobe Captivate projects accessible or open to accessibility
technology. For example, if you select the 508 option and you have
filled in the project name and project description text boxes in
the Project Properties dialog box, a screen reader will read the
name and description when the Adobe Captivate SWF file is played.
The following Adobe Captivate elements are accessible when
the 508 compliance option is selected:
• Project name (derived from Project Properties)
• Project description (derived from Project Properties)
• Slide accessibility text
• Slide label (derived from Slide Properties)
• Buttons
Creating accessible projects 65
• Playback controls (function of each button is read by
screen readers)
• Password protection (if an Adobe Captivate SWF file
is password protected, the prompt for a
password is read by screen readers)
• Question slides (title, question, answers, button
text, and scoring report are read by screen
readers)
Note: Output generated with the Section 508 option will be
displayed with all supported browsers.
However, your output may not be Section 508 compliant unless
it is viewed with Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer is the only browser with support for MSAA
(Microsoft Active Accessibility).
Note: To access Flash content using a screen reader, users
need to have Flash Player 6 or later installed.
I hope this is of some use to you.
Regards,
Mark

Section 508 compliance web sites info ??

Does anybody know the websites designed in APEX, which is Section 508 Compliant ??
Thnx

Hi,
Yes, I see what you mean now.
Unfortunately there is no easy way of rectifying this in 4.0.2. You will find that the situation is greatly improved from 4.1 forwards. Meaningful ALT's or empty ALT's have been added to appropriate images rendered by the engine for IRR's. For example those particular images make up the contents of a link, where the link text is already visible and available to assistive technologies, so the images are treated as decorative (alt=""), and thus ignored by assistive technologies. Also, I should say, considerable time and effort has gone into fixing accessibility related issues since 4.0.2 (and obviously a huge number of other improvements and fixes), so I would strongly recommend you try and upgrade, if it's at all possible. (Although, I know it's often not that simple.)
Regarding fac586's comments, yes definitely and thank you for pointing out those feature requests. Work in the last couple of releases has certainly been moving toward allowing for greater CSS customisation (although mainly with our native themes admittedly). And we've often talked about and wanting to update IRR's to use cleaner, more semantic HTML, using more modern JavaScript and CSS techniques and allowing greater customisation. (We have to be a bit careful with controls or icons that use CSS-served images, where the meaning is solely conveyed by the image, because of how Windows High Contrast treats them (it ignores them). But that's an aside.)
Sorry again I can't offer you more for 4.0.2, but I would definitely look at trying to upgrade if you can to be sure you're getting the most accessible output.
Also, please feel free to contact me directly if you ever want to ask anything accessibility related and I'd be happy to help.
Regards,
Anthony.

Adobe Section 508 compliance check question

I've run the Adobe Section 508 compliance check on a document. The only errors I receive now are 5 tables without designated table headers. I click on the link to these tables, but nothing happens. It doesn't point me to the tables with the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Adobe Pro v9.2.0.

I work at a college and have to create complex Section 508-compliant PDFs throughout the year. Though you've probably upgraded to CS6 or higher, I thought I'd share info on an ID plug-in that is very helpful with determining and setting the reading order from within ID. It is called "FrameMaker," by Rorohiko, and it puts a tiny label on each frame of a page. For example, if I select a frame, the reading order "number" will show on the top right of the frame. So I'll know immediately that I need to fix the order before creating a pdf.
Very inexpensive. Definitely worth the money.

BTW: If you have to create text files from large ID files, their TextExporter is fabulous.
