I was looking on Sight and Sound's website, and tried to view a couple of
PDF files, the brochure and a document information sheet.  I was surprised
to find that both these documents were inaccessible.

I have quite a number of PDF files on my computer, many of them instruction
manuals.  I have just checked that I can still read some of them, so it
isn't anything I have done to alter the settings.

As we all know, inaccessible PDF documents usually means that they have been
scanned in as images rather than being typed in as text.  I am surprised
that Sight and Sound, a company supplying specialist equipment and software
to blind and partially sighted people, should produce inaccessible
documents.  I would be interested to know what they have to say about this.

If anyone else on this list can access the documents I mentioned, perhaps
they could let us know.
