A tourism platform provides a brochure with accommodation offers. On its
website is a download-page with a PDF-version of the brochure. The PDF is
not tagged.



On the same website is a page with a search-form for all the accommodation
offers in the brochure. The form provides additional filter functionalities
(location, category, .).



There are some conditions for a conforming alternate version:

2. The PDF-file includes at least an accessible link to the form.
