What is PDF Accessibility?

PDF Accessibility involves adapting PDF documents to be comprehensible and usable for individuals with disabilities, including those who depend on screen readers, voice recognition tools, or other assistive technologies. An accessible PDF is designed with features such as alternative text for images, correctly tagged components, and user-friendly forms, promoting an inclusive experience for every user.

By adhering to accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1, PDF/UA, and Section 508 compliance, you enable individuals with visual, auditory, or motor challenges to effectively engage with your content.

Our PDF Accessibility Services

At MedReck BPM, we provide a comprehensive suite of PDF accessibility services tailored to your requirements, whether you represent an organization, educational institution, government agency, or business. Here’s how we can assist you:

PDF Remediation

Our PDF remediation services are dedicated to transforming non-accessible PDFs into fully compliant, accessible documents that meet established accessibility standards. We employ manual remediation techniques to guarantee precision and quality, incorporating tags and features that allow assistive technologies to accurately interpret the content of the document.


Content Organization and Tagging

We systematically assign tags to arrange the content in a coherent manner, facilitating accurate interpretation by screen readers. This process encompasses tagging various components such as headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and additional elements.


Descriptive Alt Text for Visuals

We incorporate detailed alternative text for images, charts, graphs, and infographics, allowing users with visual impairments to comprehend visual information through screen readers.


Utilization of Semantic Elements

The appropriate application of semantic elements (such as headings, lists, and forms) guarantees that assistive technologies can effectively convey meaning, thereby improving the overall user experience.

Accessible Form Creation

PDF forms are frequently utilized for purposes such as surveys, applications, and registrations. Unfortunately, many of these forms lack accessibility for individuals with disabilities. We specialize in creating and remediating accessible PDF forms that are fully compatible with screen readers and keyboard navigation, enabling users with disabilities to fill out and submit forms without encountering obstacles.


Field Labeling

We ensure that all form fields, including text boxes, checkboxes, and dropdown menus, are appropriately labeled, allowing users to easily comprehend and complete the form.


Keyboard Navigation

Our accessible PDF forms facilitate navigation through fields using a keyboard, eliminating the need for a mouse, which significantly aids individuals with mobility challenges in completing the forms.

PDF/UA and Section 508 Compliance

At MedReck BPM, we are committed to ensuring that your documents adhere to essential standards, including PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) and Section 508 compliance. Our skilled team will assess and modify your PDFs to ensure they conform to these standards, delivering accessible documents that fulfill legal obligations.


PDF/UA Compliance:

Compliance with PDF/UA guarantees that documents are universally accessible, aligning with international standards for PDF accessibility.


Section 508 Compliance

For U.S. government agencies and contractors, compliance with Section 508 is mandatory. We assist organizations in ensuring that their digital documents satisfy these federal accessibility requirements.

Interactive and Multimedia PDFs

In the current multimedia-driven landscape, PDFs frequently incorporate interactive features like hyperlinks, embedded videos, and buttons. It is essential to guarantee that these features are accessible to users who depend on assistive technologies.


Hyperlink Accessibility

We make certain that hyperlinks within your PDF are appropriately labeled and accessible to all users, including individuals utilizing screen readers.


Multimedia Captions and Transcripts

For PDFs that feature multimedia components, we offer closed captions and transcripts, ensuring that audio and video content is accessible to users with hearing disabilities.

Document Testing and Validation

Following remediation, we conduct comprehensive testing of your PDFs through a combination of automated tools and manual methods to guarantee full accessibility and compliance with standards. This process encompasses the following evaluations:


Screen Reader Compatibility

We assess the document's functionality with screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and Voice Over, ensuring a smooth experience for users with visual impairments.


Keyboard Navigation

We confirm that all interactive components are accessible and operable using only a keyboard, thereby accommodating users with motor disabilities.
