Straightening Bowed Plywood Doors

I've built a frame and doors that go over a closet area. Two pairs of
doors 27" wide and 92" tall, 3/4" birch plywood. The problem is that the
doors are very bowed; at the bottom one door protrudes almost 1 1/2"
from the other.

Anyone have any experience with this challenge and successful fix?

Many thanks!

Alain

Didn't you post the very same question a few days ago? The answer is
still the same: Make new doors of a suitable material, core board for
preference if you want flat doors, or build a torsion box with thin
plywood.
