**Accessibility: For people who have visual impairments and depend on a screen reader to receive their information - a scanned PDF is not accessible. The scanned document is essentially an image that has no identifiable text for a machine to read. The best kind of PDF will have tags, links, alt-text for images, and proper titles and headings. At the very least, the text should be 'selectable'. Please see this article to learn more: https://itaccessibility.arizona.edu/content/pdf-accessibility
