<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">It was great to have met those attending the event last week at BGSU. In one of my comments on the PDF, I mistakenly referred to PDF/X. I had the PDF/UA (Universal
Access) in mind and this is the link: <a href="https://www.pdfa.org/pdfua-the-iso-standard-for-universal-accessibility/">
https://www.pdfa.org/pdfua-the-iso-standard-for-universal-accessibility/</a>. I thought that Read Out Loud would be enough for accessibility, but what would it take to prepare PDF copies of scanned documents containing images or handwritten texts (correspondence,
ledger, diary, etc.) for accessibility? There are more software (e.g., ABBYY) to create an OCR document but how is a PDF full of OCR junk be more helpful than hiring humans to prepare a legitimate transcription on demand? Also, while the PDF/A has been commonly
used in the archivist community, may the PDF/UA one day mean a requirement to switch away from PDF/A?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
