Who must make documents accessible?

Under ADA / Section 508 and equivalent disability rights regulations, any organization that publishes documents on its website is required to make them accessible. This includes:

Public sector bodies

Government agencies, municipalities, education and healthcare institutions

Companies and organizations

Any business publishing documents on its site — contracts, procedures, reports

Legal compliance

Required under WCAG 2.1 AA and service accessibility regulations

Social responsibility

Accessible documents give every person equal access to information

A legal obligation

Inaccessible documents can trigger lawsuits, fines and reputational damage. Document accessibility is not a recommendation — it is a legal requirement.

What does remediation include?

Everything the document needs to be readable and accessible to every user

Structural tags

Adding tags that define headings, paragraphs, lists and tables — so a screen reader understands the structure

Alt text

Every image, chart and illustration gets a precise text description — so users who cannot see still understand

Logical reading order

Setting the correct reading order so a screen reader follows a logical flow rather than visual layout

Accessible tables

Defining row and column headers, marking header and data cells — so tables are intelligible via screen reader

Language and direction

Marking document language, in-line language shifts and correct reading direction (RTL/LTR)

Design preservation

All work happens under the surface — your design stays exactly as it is

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is required to make documents accessible?

Public bodies and any business that publishes documents on its website are required to make them accessible under ADA / Section 508 and equivalent disability rights regulations.

Which document types do you remediate?

We remediate PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Each document type gets format-specific treatment aligned with the relevant standard.

Does remediation change the document design?

No. We preserve the original design and add an accessibility layer underneath — tags, alt text, reading order and logical structure. The final output looks exactly like the original.

How long does document remediation take?

It depends on document type, length and complexity. A standard document is ready within 1–3 business days. Complex or long documents may take longer.

What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 AA and PDF/UA?

WCAG 2.1 AA is the W3C standard for digital content accessibility, broadly applicable across web and documents. PDF/UA (ISO 14289) is an international standard specific to accessible PDF documents. We work to both.
