DOCUMENT ACCESSIBILITY

PDFs everyone can actually read

Why PDF accessibility matters

70% of PDFs are inaccessible to people who use screen readers. Government regulations, legal requirements, and ethical responsibility all demand accessible documents. Plus, accessible PDFs are better organized, more searchable, and easier for everyone to use.

Stakeholder accessibility achieved

Our annual report had complex charts and tables. The remediated version works perfectly with JAWS and NVDA—our blind stakeholders can finally access the same information as everyone else.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about PDF accessibility

What makes a PDF accessible?
An accessible PDF has: proper tag structure (headings, lists, tables), alt text for images, correct reading order, bookmarks for navigation, document language set, and accessible form fields. These elements allow screen readers and other assistive technology to interpret the document correctly.
What is PDF/UA?
PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) is the international standard for accessible PDFs (ISO 14289-1). It specifies requirements for tagged PDF content, structure, and metadata. Compliance with PDF/UA is often required for government and regulatory submissions.
Can you remediate scanned PDFs?
Yes. For scanned documents, we perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) first to extract text, then add proper tagging and structure. Quality depends on scan quality, but we can remediate most scanned documents to full accessibility.
How long does remediation take?
Simple documents (text-based, under 20 pages): 2-3 days. Complex documents (tables, charts, forms): 5-7 days. Large projects (100+ documents): Custom timeline. Rush delivery available for urgent needs.
What file formats do you accept?
We accept: PDF (native or scanned), Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Adobe InDesign, and most common document formats. Providing source files (like InDesign) usually results in better accessibility than starting from PDF.
How do you test for accessibility?
Every document is tested with: PAC 2024 (PDF Accessibility Checker), Adobe Acrobat Pro accessibility checker, manual screen reader testing (JAWS, NVDA), and visual inspection for reading order. We provide a conformance report with each delivery.

Every document should be readable by everyone

PDFs are everywhere—contracts, reports, forms, guides. When they're inaccessible, millions of people are excluded from essential information. We believe document accessibility isn't just a compliance checkbox—it's about ensuring everyone can participate fully in society.
