Why Accessibility Matters

Accessible documents enable users of screen readers and other assistive technologies to read, navigate, and understand your PDFs. They also support organisational accessibility objectives and help reduce compliance risk.

I work with universities, government departments, and organisations to create accessible PDFs that are correctly structured, well-organised, and easy to navigate.

This ensures your documents align with WCAG ( Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ) and PDF/UA standards, improving usability and delivering a consistent, accessible experience across assistive technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can't find the answer you're looking for, feel free to email yolandi@accessibilitydocs.com

What types of PDFs can you remediate?

I remediate a wide range of PDFs, including course materials, reports, forms, manuals, guides, policies, and marketing documents — from simple files to complex layouts.

Can you work with scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned PDFs can usually be remediated, although they may need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) first to make the text accessible.

What accessibility standards do you follow?

I follow WCAG 2.1 principles and PDF/UA accessibility practices to improve screen reader compatibility and document usability.

What is your turnaround time?

Turnaround times vary depending on the size and complexity of the documents. Smaller jobs may take a couple of business days, while larger projects may take longer. Timeframes are provided with each quote.

Can you remediate large batches of documents?

Yes. I work on both single documents and large document collections for organisations and teams.

Do you work with universities and government organisations?

Yes. I work with universities, government departments, non-profits, educational providers, and businesses.

How is this different from automated accessibility tools?

All remediation is manually completed and reviewed to ensure correct structure, tagging accuracy, and real screen reader usability. Automated tools alone cannot guarantee compliance or usability.

Will my accessible PDFs work with screen readers?

Yes. Remediated PDFs are structured for better compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies, including correct tagging, headings, reading order, and navigation.

Can inaccessible PDFs create compliance risks?

Yes. Inaccessible documents can create barriers for users and may affect accessibility compliance requirements. Accessible PDFs help improve usability and inclusion.
