Hi Trudy, Heather and Carleeta, I agree, sending feedback to the website developers to let them know PDF is not always accessible to everyone and Word format would help also is a good idea. For now, I have run the document through a PDF to Word converter and attach the file I got from it. I don't think it converted perfectly, but it does look readable using JAWS.
