Frequently Asked Questions about Document Accessibility
- What types of documents do you remediate?
- We remediate PDFs, Word documents (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx), and InDesign files. We bring all documents to full PDF/UA and Section 508 compliance.
- Why do PDFs need to be made accessible separately?
- PDFs have their own accessibility standard (PDF/UA) separate from WCAG. A PDF exported from Word or InDesign is almost never accessible by default — it requires manual tagging, reading order correction, alt text for images, and proper heading structure.
- How long does document remediation take?
- A simple PDF (10–20 pages, mostly text) takes 1–2 business days. Complex documents with tables, forms, multiple columns, and charts may take 3–5 days. We offer bulk pricing for organizations with large document libraries.
- Do you produce accessible document templates for future use?
- Yes. We create accessible Word, PowerPoint, and InDesign templates so future documents your team produces start accessible by default, reducing ongoing remediation costs.
