@ScienceCommunicator @MariaToft @academicchatter My vision is good enough that I can read 12 pt type with my reading glasses on much faster than listening to text to speech, and my comprehension is better with reading than listening. Unfortunately, with the pre-formatted PDF, if I zoom to 12-pt, I have to pan back and forth on every line.

As for text-to-speech, I tried that. For some reason, the iOS screen reader says “no speakable content could be found on the screen” when I open the PDF. I did finally succeed in opening it Acrobat and extracting the text so I could read it.

It is probably worth running it through an accessibility checker like: https://pave-pdf.org/pave/index.html

I did that, and the PDF is missing title and image captions. Also, the language is set to da-DK (danish-Denmark), instead of en-US or en-UK, which is the language it appears to be written in. Maybe that’s the issue with the “no speakable content found error”? Other PDFs read just fine.
