DOCUMENT ACCESSIBILITY / PDF REMEDIATION
A PDF can look perfect and still be unreadable for someone using a screen reader. Our PDF remediation service fixes your documents so headings, reading order, images, tables, links and forms make sense to assistive technology — and we show you the checks we ran.
Remediation batches from $390 USD

Delivery starts when all PDFs in the batch are received and reviewed. Scanned documents that need OCR, and deadlines tied to an audit or procurement, should be discussed before ordering.

01
We tag every heading, paragraph, list, table and figure, and set the reading order so a screen reader follows the document the way a sighted reader does.
02
Charts, photos and diagrams get meaningful alternative text; tables get proper headers so each figure can be understood in context.
03
Each document is checked with PAC (the PDF/UA checker) and tested with a screen reader. You receive a report of what was fixed and what was verified.
Syllabi, course materials, research papers and student forms.
Reports, guides, application forms and information leaflets.
Annual reports, handbooks, patient guides and customer documents.
Upload the final PDFs (and Word or InDesign sources if you have them) and tell us which ones matter most.
We confirm page counts, flag scanned pages or complex forms and agree the order of work.
Tags, reading order, alt text, tables, forms and metadata, then PAC checks and a screen reader pass on every file.
Remediated PDFs plus a report per document. One correction round is included if you spot anything.
01
Your documents, visually unchanged, with a complete and correct tag structure.
02
For each file: what was fixed, PAC results and the screen reader test, ready to share with your compliance team.
03
The alternative text written for each image, so your team can reuse it in web pages and future editions.
We remediate against PDF/UA and the WCAG success criteria that apply to PDF and document the checks we ran. We do not issue legal certificates or guarantee compliance with a specific law or contract. Content rewriting, translation and OCR of scanned documents are quoted separately.
Before you order
No. Tools like Acrobat's checker or PAC catch technical errors, but not whether the reading order makes sense or whether alt text is meaningful. That is why every document also gets a manual screen reader test.
We work to PDF/UA (ISO 14289) and the WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA criteria that apply to PDF, which also cover Section 508 and EN 301 549 requirements for documents. Tell us your target in the brief.
No. Remediation works on the structure underneath. The visual layout stays the same unless something has to change for contrast or readability, and we ask first.
Scanned pages first need OCR and a careful text check, which takes more time. We quote scanned documents separately so the batch price stays fair.
Yes, and for documents you publish every year that is the best investment. The Organisation batch includes an accessible source template for your next reports.
Every page in the batch counts, including covers and blank pages. A 12-page PDF and a 38-page PDF together are 50 pages.
