Hello,
Is it possible for documents to be scanned to PDF and be accessible? We are getting PDF documents to post on our website that have been scanned. They are failing the accessibility scan in Acrobat which sees them as images. How are documents like this remediated?

Do techniques like this create accessible documents: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/scan-documents-pdf.html
