Pretty Darn Frustrating!

Those of you who know that I am the wicked witch of the west when it comes to pdfs will no doubt find it amusing to imagine my consternation. I sent a report in a Word document for publication on a web site which I know to be infested with pdfs, only to discover it had been posted as a pdf! I completely forgot to ask them to publish in non-pdf format as well. And it has my name on it on their front page. Oh the shame of it!

For the uninitiated, pdfs, (portable document formats) are generally inaccessible to a number of disabled people, and a pain in the proverbial to a fair number of other people as well. You can find information about pdf pro’s and pitfalls and understand why these cause problems, if you don’t already.
