Hi Dorene, and all,
Asking for another format has worked for me in the
past as well, yes.
I've done this (years ago now) with Peter Bowerman
and Dan Poynter. as well as Skip McGrath for his
offerings and also Hope Clark, among others.
Haven't really had to with any purchases lately.
For the last few years at least, the PDFs from
Poynter, McGrath, and Clark, whom all put out
multiple eBooks, have been accessible. I believe
this is due mainly to the blind people that have
shown interest and asked for accessible versions
over the years. I remember FundsForWriters (Hope
Clark) at one point at least, offered both MS Word
and PDF versions, to help her readers with
accessibility. But since then PDFs have come a
long way and are more accessible... usually. ;-)
Blessings to Your Efforts!

Hi Ana, Everett
I did not look at all the links Everett sent. I
might start with the Adobe page?but what happens
for me is that sometimes whatever editting or
wordprocessing tool is used to generate the
document does an inadequate translation to PDF.
If the magazine you are working with can tell you
what software they used to create the PDF, maybe
we would be able to point them in a good direction
faster.
I just got something the other day that started
out life as a docx Word doc because I got an
earlier version before it was converted to PDF.
I?may ask the authors whether it was done?on a Mac
because I know?one of the authors is a Mac user.?
