Tim, There are tools on the market for PDF to Word conversion but volunteers must work from print originals not digital files that they did not scan themselves or were not supplied by Bookshare. The Chafee Amendment that we operate under applies to print materials. Although a PDF or some other digital format that is not DAISY is not fully accessible it can be argued that a publisher has increased the book's accessibility at least to some degree by using that format thus it does not qualify under the protections of Chafee. If a publisher or someone who is not a registered Bookshare volunteer operating through the submission process provides a digital version of a book it is not eligible for addition to the collection.
