The PDF Association is actively engaged on developing standards in this area, PDF/UA-1 was this first step, PDF/UA-2 is in development. Additionally helpful material, e.g. the "Matterhorn Protocol" and Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax“ were published by the Association.
The members Klaas Posselt and Dirk Frölich got a further step and published a german book about „How to create accessible pdf files“ (official title: "Barrierefreie PDF-Dokumente erstellen", published at dpunkt Verlag).
