AI-powered remediation to PDF/UA-1 + WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Every job ships with a passing veraPDF validation report — proof you can hand to any auditor.
The Problem
A 2024 study found that 95.7% of publicly available PDFs contain accessibility failures. Under ADA Title II, public entities must fix them — or face formal complaints, lawsuits, and OCR investigations.
Legal exposure: Federal agencies and covered entities that fail to make digital content accessible can face OCR investigations and civil rights complaints.
Universities & schools: Course materials, forms, and policy documents are all in scope. Inaccessible PDFs mean students with disabilities can't participate equally.
Government agencies: Every publicly posted PDF — applications, reports, notices — needs to meet the standard. The backlog is real.
What We Fix
Our remediation process addresses every category that causes veraPDF failures and WCAG violations.
Every image, chart, and figure gets descriptive, context-appropriate alternative text. Decorative items properly marked as artifacts.
Logical reading order, proper heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3), and tagged content so screen readers navigate correctly.
Header cells identified, scope attributes set, complex tables given summaries. No more "table soup" that confuses assistive tech.
Unicode mappings corrected, ToUnicode CMaps embedded, document language declared, character encoding issues resolved.
PDF/UA-1 identifier embedded in XMP metadata, ViewerPreferences set, document title and language properties correctly declared.
Hyperlinks tagged with descriptive text, form fields labeled, tab order logical. Interactive PDFs work with keyboard navigation.
Text elements checked against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large text). Issues flagged and remediated.
Every remediated PDF ships with a passing veraPDF validation report. Green light. Audit-ready. No exceptions.
