Abstract

This paper introduce is a simple viewer and editor of sound-embedded PDF that is suitable for elementary school students with print disabilities. These days, a lot of teaching materials are created in PDF. For student with print disabilities, the use of sound-embedded PDF was proposed.

Therefore, a simple viewer and editor of sound-embedded PDF was developed.
