<p class="MsoNormal">We just ran into the same issue with Macmillan. When I explained to Christine that the student in question uses Read and Write Gold, and that RWG does not work well with ePub files in Adobe Digital Editions, Christine sent me a PDF. Unfortunately,
the PDF had issues with ligatures. We often have this with PDFs, but this one was especially bad. Christine is going to see if they have a better quality PDF.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have also run into this problem with Macmillan, though I have actually had success in getting PDFs from Christine (though it took a little while and some follow up on my part). My argument/concern was that we have a Read&Write site license
on our campus that a majority of students use for text-to-speech, and as of now, Read&Write does not read EPUBs.

<p class="MsoNormal">That worked (though I had to forward the email from TextHelp support proving what I said was true), and she sent the PDFs to me (through Dropbox I think). So it is possible, the PDFs do still exist, there are just some extra hoops to jump
through. ;)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've encountered the same thing with some files. The lack of page numbers is the biggest problem, in my opinion. It's not too hard to convert an epub to a PDF, if that's what the student needs -- many would probably be fine using the epub
directly, and there are actually some things I personally PREFER about epubs, but not having page numbers that correspond to the original text is a big deal breaker, IMO.<o:p></o:p></p>

accessible PDF files. I expect other Disability Services providers will most likely have the same opinion as I do.<o:p></o:p></p>
