Make PDFs more accessible
The joy of the web is that you can deliver all sorts of different 'media' via a single interface. Tim Berners-Lee designed it with exactly that in mind.
That is good news in terms of accessibility, because it means you can offer the same content in a choice of formats, PDF being one example.
