[Blindmath] making pdf textbook accessible

[John Gardner]

Hi, the unfortunate answer is "no".  The Latex source files can be read by
some blind people.  Can the original Latex document be converted to HTML
with math as MathML, using something like TX4HT?  That could be quite
accessible.

There presently is no direct way to make PDF math accessible.  Even text in
PDF is often inaccessible unless it is tagged.

All,

I am working with a professor who has written a calculus textbook as a pdf
document.  He wants to know if it will be accessible and if not how to make
it so.  He says the forumlas in the book were created via pdflatex.
