Hello Dave,
Thanks for that info;  I was aware of this but was trying to make the point - badly - that calling a document a PDF file does not necessarily make it accessible.

Glen,
 
PDF files are often created as each page being an image of something. This usually happens when a PDF file is created from a scanner. So it's okay that it's PDF.

Brandon,
This is nothing more than a series of pictures, one picture per page which has been saved with a PDF file extension.
No idea why this one has been saved with a PDF file extension, but it's still a picture and therefore should have a file extension of .jpg.
To make it accessible to a screen reader, you would need to use Optical Character Recognition to turn it into text.
HTH.
