Is there a way to generate ADA compliant PDF in conventional workflow (i.e. non XML workflow)?

Question

Hi, 
 I need to generate the ADA compliant PDF in conventional workflow (CT workflow). 
 Can anyone help me to achieve this. 
 Thanks and Regards

Straight from the PDF Support in XPP manual: (page 8-2) 
 
 You can use the PDF tagging features of the Direct to PDF (divpdf) program to help provide people with disabilities, such as vision, hearing, or motor impairments the ability to access electronic information. CSS is used to tag the textual content and generate bookmarks/annotations (links). Output options allow for creating a fully PDF/UA-compliant document or using CSS to generate bookmarks and annotations only, without having to tag all the content. These properties work with both CSS-XML and XML Divisions, provided that the XML is well-formed and the markup is based on the logical reading order of the document.

You might wonder why it is limited to XML based documents, but without clear start and end of fragments, trying to output an ADA compliant PDF would always be a very tricky thing. Something that you better say no to from the start
