Hello all,
I was just informed by a publisher that, "Most of our newer downloads will
be as unlocked PDF files which can be accessed by almost all screen
readers." When I asked if they would be created in an accessible manner
their answer was, "If I ever send you PDFs you will get instructions to pass
along to the student. In the two years since we have switched to PDFs, I
have only had to replace them with Word files 4 times. We've switched to
PDFs because they are quicker to produce and more economical."
I'm a little concerned about this. My experience with PDF's has been less
than favorable. Even for myself. I do wear glasses, but I am not considered
low vision.
I'm glad this topic was brought up at this time.
