Good news:
If your PDFs already exist, you usually don’t need to recreate them from scratch to make them accessible. Many organizations assume that if a PDF looks clean or was exported from Word, it’s ready for everyone—but accessibility isn’t about appearance; it’s about structure and usability.
Even documents that seem fine visually may have issues like
- Headings that aren’t properly tagged
- Tables that don’t read correctly with screen readers
- Forms that aren’t interactive or usable
- Missing alt text for meaningful images
These issues can prevent people using assistive technology from fully accessing your content—and can even create compliance risks for your organization.
How PDF Accessibility Remediation Works
PDF accessibility remediation allows you to fix your existing PDFs without starting over. Here’s what the process usually involves:
- Document Review—We analyze your PDFs to identify accessibility issues.
- Manual Remediation – Trained specialists correct reading order, add alt text, tag headings and lists, and ensure tables are readable.
- Quality Assurance – Each PDF is tested using screen readers to ensure it meets accessibility standards.
- Final Delivery—You receive accessible PDFs and a summary of the completed remediation work.
This approach saves time, preserves your existing content, and ensures it’s fully usable by everyone.

Organizations of all sizes can benefit, including:
- Small businesses and entrepreneurs
- Nonprofits and community organizations
