No direct answers from me, I'm afraid but some suggestions. (1) Although I've only found the document as a PDF, a page it is linked from <https://www.fns.usda.gov/research/cnpp/usda-food-plans> gives an email address fns.foodpl...@usda.gov for "technical inquiries". I'd guess your questions fall under that description, and the US gov is fairly good on accessibility issues, so you might be able to resolve your issue there. > I have a combination of vision and perception problems which make > using a PDF viewer impractical. pdf2txt can convert it to HTML.
