These "dynamic pdfs" are the anti-thesis of what pdf files are meant to be: static objects containing text that always looks the same. My state dept. of natural resources loves them which means all the regulations are now inaccessible. All I can see in the "pdfs" (not pdfs, pdf shells that are webpages) are the following lines,
"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
... because they pull down their actual contents using JS from some website. They are the anti-thesis to what a pdf file is meant to be. Truly the worst of both worlds and a huge step backwards in accessibility and longevity. All that a screen reader can read is the above text.
