We have a blind student taking this course who uses JAWS, and would obviously prefer not buying the book if he doesn’t have to. However neither he nor I can get JAWS to read the embedded PDF that EBSCO Host uses. I’ve futzed with settings in JAWS and read the help faq for EBSCO which claims that their viewer is accessible but, eh, not so much in my humble opinion. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone else dealt with this?
