Hi Eirini,
I always thought that there were readers for PDF files for users with
visual impairments. Have I missed something?
You do not mean by any chance PDF files which are created by scanning
documents and effectively the PDF file stores images of text (too common
at my work unfortunately)?
Cheers,
Charles
