Many thanks Nikki, we will bear in mind that BCU's scans are quality assured! Do any other institutions use Finereader to ensure text reflow / correct reading order, and does anyone go to the additional effort of embedding bookmarks or proofreading their OCR? It would be useful if the DCS could indicate whether uploaded PDFs include these accessibility standards within the 'Source Content' box. You can see if a PDF has bookmarks by opening the preview in your browser, but the only way to check for reflowable text is to download and open it in Adobe Reader (then using CTRL + 4 to switch to reflowable mode).
