PDF documents remediated to PDF/UA: two already accessible, one in progress, 48 pages remediated, and a tender taken from 48% to 100% accessible

Digital documents can have accessibility issues

If you publish digital content, remember that it needs to be checked, and fixed wherever issues turn up, to make it usable and legally compliant.

PDF

Structure, tags, headings, reading order, images, tables, links and forms must be interpreted correctly by assistive technologies too.

Word

Styles, hierarchy, images, tables and document structure are checked and corrected so the content is easier to navigate and understand.

PowerPoint

Element order, slide titles, images, charts and content must keep a reading path that makes sense outside the visual presentation too.

Excel

Tables, headers, sheets, cells and information must be organised so the structure of the data, and how it relates, can be understood with assistive technologies too.

What makes a document accessible?

A document is accessible when everyone can find, understand and use the information in the file, including through screen readers, crawlers and keyboard navigation.

How file remediation works

Step 1 — We analyse the documents

We collect the files and check their structure, content and characteristics to identify the main accessibility barriers.

Step 2 — We fix the issues

We correct whatever gets in the way: structure, reading order, headings, images, tables, links, forms and other relevant components.

Step 3 — We check the result

After remediation the document is reviewed again to check the changes made and catch any remaining issues.

Step 4 — We deliver the remediated files

You receive the updated documents together with what you need to understand the work done and handle future materials correctly.
