it rather depends what it is an alternate too does it not?
If then original is ink-print then .pdf can be a viable alternative. In
terms of flexibility in use however personally I'd prefer other electronic
formats.

Subject: pdf files as an alternate format?


Hello,

Some colleagues of mine are having a spirited discussion on whether a PDF
file is considered as an alternate format for individuals with
print disabilities.

I am curious about what  folks here consider as  alternate formats,
and whether a PDF file falls into their definition?

Thanks,
Jennison
