Accessibile PDF forms
Accessible PDF Forms Remediation Service to ensure that people with disabilities can also fill up the forms independently. We provide Section 508 conversion services that ensure all your documents are tested by native screen reader users using assistive technology.
What document formats can you make accessible?
We can work with most document formats. The most common formats we receive are PDF documents and Microsoft Office documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher. Providing documents in their original format offer the fastest and most accurate document remediation. However, if PDF is the only format available, we can work with this as well.
If your documents are scanned, they are viewed as an image and are not accessible. We can often use object recognition tools to recognize the text of the document and add a tagging structure. This process will often incur additional fees so we recommend submitting originals if possible. Occasionally, a scanned document will need to be recreated. If this is the case, we can provide additional pricing.
How to remediate documents for accessibility?
Our PDF remediation experts work with your documents to remove accessibility issues and make sure all the inaccessible documents are compliant with Section 508 and WCAG AA. During the process of providing document remediation service, our accessibility experts manually review each page of your file, following accessibility requirements & guidelines.
PDF document accessibility checking includes but is not limited to:
- Color contrast
- Reading order
- Heading Structure
- Table structure
- Alternative text
We add a tag sturcture to your PDFs enabling them to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers. For example, if your document includes a table, each element of the table must be tagged properly in order for someone using a screen reader to navigate the table in a way that is understandable. This includes having a table header structure and defining the scope of each header cell.
Can you automate PDF remediation?
Similar to testing a website for accessibility, document accessibility always requires manual labor. Manual confirmation of an accurate tag structure is the only way to guarantee your documents are fully accessible. Using a feature such as Adobe’s autotag option in Adobe Acrobat Pro can be a great place to start, but it’s only a start.
Here are a few things that you cannot automate in document accessibility:
1. Color contrast
Automated testing for color contrast is highly beneficial. However, it cannot catch everything. For example, an automated test will tell you if the text has enough contrast against the background of the page. It will not account for the color of an image placed behind the text.
2. Reading Order
While technology is very smart, it cannot replace human judgment for proper reading order. For example, the content of a PowerPoint presentation will be presented in the order it was added to each slide. In an ideal world, we would add slide content in the exact order it should be presented. However, in the real world, we add, delete, and move content around in order to provide an easy-to-follow, friendly experience to our viewers. Manually reviewing the reading order in PowerPoint documents ensures everyone has the same experience.
3. Alternative text
We use alternative (alt) text to describe images. An automated scan for accessibility will account for the presence of alt text. Automated scans will not account for the accuracy of alt text. Don’t let the image of your new storefront be presented as “building with a trash can and people.” We will ensure all of your images include an accurate description.
As we remediate your documents, we use both automated and manual testing to confirm accessibility. If we come across anything that will visually alter the look of your document, we will request your approval before performing the needed edits.

WCAG COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS
Overview
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is what WCAG stands for. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) includes WCAG, which aims to offer a global standard for web accessibility. Similar to the ADA, WCAG is adopted globally by legislation (Americans with Disabilities Act).
The W3C’s chosen protocols adhere to web accessibility requirements. The WCAG creates accessibility standards for various web browsers, authoring programmes, testing, and web-accessible solutions. It is made possible for business companies to have websites and web tools that work together thanks to the focus on defining universal web protocols. The three tiers of W3C standard compliance range from A to AAA. Before being accepted, each of them is evaluated, tested, and examined numerous times.
Web accessibility service providers must have specialists who have been accredited as well as automated web accessibility testing technologies. The businesses that correctly adhere to WCAG requirements provide the best legal compliance options.

It keeps your business from having to cope with pricey legal disputes and damaging brand reputation.

For brands in underdeveloped markets, putting an emphasis on accessibility solutions is the best course of action. Adding WCAG accessibility requirements to your company will increase its worth.
