Dear Ben,
Sorry Ihave made a silly mistake.
My computer expert has taught me new things about acrobat.
In fact, your file is accessible. Just that it takes awhile to open a file
(about three to four minutes) and the software does not give a verbal msg of
'loading' etc.
I also learn how to convert an image file with the in-built ocr of acrobat.
So I confirm the latest pdf file you sent  to me is accessible and can be
uploaded.  The 'accessibility test' programme is correct.

Thanks very much.
Chan Yau

Dear Chan-yau,

I tried to open your file and check but I don't have any clue with my
checking software.... I'm trying to cc this email back to the list and
Catharina and see if anyone have any clue....

Let me know if anything I may help, sorry about that.

Ben
