01 / What it does

What PDF Remediation will fix

An accessible PDF has structure a screen reader can follow. These are the parts we check and repair.

  • Tags and reading order

    Every heading, paragraph, list and image tagged, and read in the right order.

  • Headings and bookmarks

    A clear heading structure, with bookmarks so long documents are easy to move around.

  • Tables that make sense

    Header cells marked, so each value is read with its row and column.

  • Alt text for images

    Charts, photos and logos described, and decorative images hidden from screen readers.

  • Forms people can fill in

    Every field labelled, in a sensible tab order, with the right type and tooltip.

  • Title, language and checks

    Document title and language set, contrast checked, and a report against PDF/UA.

02 / How it will work

  1. Upload your PDFs

    Add one file or a whole library.

Questions

What is PDF/UA?

PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1) is the international standard for accessible PDF. It says how a PDF must be built so people using screen readers and other assistive technology can read it.

Which PDFs can you fix?

Most PDFs made from Word, InDesign or similar: reports, forms, menus, brochures, manuals and statements. Scanned pages first need their text recognised; tell us and we will check what is possible.

Is the original file changed?

You keep your original. We send back an accessible copy that looks the same.

Can you guarantee compliance?

No one honestly can. We fix every issue we find and give you a report of what was checked, so you can show the work you did.
