An untagged PDF can be unreadable by screen readers. People on our team review your documents against PDF/UA and WCAG, with the AODA, the Accessible Canada Act, ADA and Section 508 in view, and give you clear guidance to fix them.
Scope, timeline and price are confirmed on a short call.
What we check
Documents you publish are part of your digital presence. In Canada, the AODA and the Accessible Canada Act can apply to them, and in the U.S., the ADA and Section 508 can as well. Accessible PDFs are better organized, more searchable, and easier for everyone to use.
A review by people, with guidance your team can act on
Review against PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1), the international standard for accessible PDF documents.
Checks for heading hierarchy, lists, tables, and semantic structure that screen readers can navigate.
Guidance on meaningful alternative text for images, charts, and graphics so blind users understand visual content.
Checks that reading order matches the visual layout, which is essential for screen reader users.
Checks that fillable form fields have proper labels, instructions, and error handling.
Documents are reviewed by people, using PDF checking tools and assistive technology. Our web scanner does not check PDFs.

Everything you need to know about PDF accessibility
PDFs are everywhere: contracts, reports, forms, guides. When they're inaccessible, people are shut out of essential information. Document accessibility isn't just a compliance checkbox. It's about making sure everyone can participate fully.
