[community] Alternatives to PDF

[L Snider]

Hi Teresa,

Some people are creating EPUBs, and they can be made very accessible.
However, the EPUB viewers/readers themselves are still problematic in
terms of accessibility. This is why EPUB, in my view, will never gain
traction because the viewer has to be accessible. The only one that
was fairly good may come back but most people I know didn't use it.
Also, currently (as of the date of my email), InDesign produces some
of the most accessible PDFs possible. This applies to the newest
version of InDesign, not previous versions prior to 2019. In my
personal opinion it is the best out there today. Of course, PDFs can
be problematic for many people, but in my view businesses won't stop
using them any time soon.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Lisa
