In my experience PDF fits under the alternate format umbrella.
We have a few students with low vision who request PDF format because the
Acrobat software does zooming quite nicely without third party enlargement
software. If captured correctly, zooming the view results in a very crisp
enlarged version. For some students with low vision, this is a good
solution.
But for every student that likes to use PDFs, we have others that
encounter problems with poorly created PDF files created by instructors.
