Search for versions of text with better accessibility

When it is a named person or an organization who have created a PDF then you can search or ask for a version with improved accessibility should you find any accessibility issues.

There are not always accessible versions of PDF documents to be found, but there may instead be alternative formats such as ePub, HLTM, audio- or Word files.

Library databases

Some databases already offer accessible alternative formats to texts. ProQuest is one exmple.
Search in databases via your library and see if the text you would like to use is found in alternative formats
Contact a librarian at your institution or your univeristy, who should be able to help you with databases and different formats.
