  • Remove multi-media content such as audio, video, and SVG images.
  • Remove multi-media content such as audio, video, and SVG images. [sic]
  • Remove mathematical equations.
  • Remove images that contain linear gradients.
  • Remove password protection or any other security settings.
  • Remove any footnotes inside footnotes.

From the above list we can surmise that AMZ does not know how, or does not want to:

  • Convert SVG files (no rasterizing to PNG or JPEG?)
  • Display or convert MathML
  • Proofread their help pages for duplicate bulletin items.

I can’t understand the “no linear gradient” rule. Does that mean no images with gradients? Are they referring to CSS linear gradients? Or is this a ‘conversion to black and white of gradients always look bad’ because AMZ hasn’t figured out halftone techniques?
