An error occurred while saving the comment Naomi Chow commentedPerhaps the solution might be to reverse the process -- the received PDFs were run in some kind of OCR program after the ILLiad server has received the document, but before being finally upload to the patron.
This would, however, only address accessibility for your home patrons, not for the supplying library providing a PDF to a non-ILLiad library.
Not being in IT I'm not sure whether ILLiad would be be able to have another transmission program (e.g., via OCLC AE if file size limit is higher or some other file drop service) to automatically switch to using if the file size is too large for Odyssey to handle, or to send to non-ILLIad libraries.
Probably would ideally need the OCR accessibility solution addressed on both sending and receiving documents.

With the new ADA rule coming into effect by 2026 for larger regions and 2027 for smaller regions, having accessible ILLiad PDFs for our patrons (for state and public libraries) is critical.
Here is the link to the ADA information:
