ADA and Copyright

I am trying to work with our Disability Support Services (DSS) department to make our reserves more accessible. Currently, our electronic reserves are in pdf format, as this is a fairly common standard format. However, the programs the visually impaired use for reserves don't work well with pdfs. Long story short, DSS wants us to convert all of our electronic reserves into dual formats, thus making two electronic versions of every one of our hundreds of documents. I remember seeing or hearing somewhere that this cannot be done wholesale to an entire collection, but must be looked at on a per document basis as needed. I can't seem to find any documentation to support this interpretation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
