Low Vision and PDF
Thursday, 25 February 2010
Hi, I develop resources for reading with low vision that do not just rely on magnification. These include tag based navigation, apropriate and granular typographic enhancement and usability. My work is for reading. Numerous digital libraries depend on PDF for document storage and delivery. So, the move to PDF and Flash directly threatens literacy of people with low vision. For many zoom / magnification is not enough. Granular control is needed. No PDF reader or zoom product provides releif for this group. I am eager to help.
