FAQ

Accessibility Demystified

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) published by the W3C defines international requirements for making digital content accessible to people with disabilities. In the US, Section 508 requires federal agencies and contractors to comply, while ADA Title III courts hold private businesses accountable to WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) enforces strict penalties across Europe starting June 2025.

Yes. Inaccessible PDFs are the single most common trigger for digital accessibility demand letters and ADA Title III lawsuits. Automated web crawlers used by plaintiff firms instantly flag PDFs lacking tags or alt text. Remediation typically costs a tiny fraction of a legal settlement or defense retainer.

True remediation is not just clicking an automated Acrobat wizard. We manually construct a semantic tag tree (<Document>, <H1>-<H6>, <P>, <Table>, <TH>, <Figure>), assign human-crafted descriptive alt text, map multi-dimensional table headers, configure logical tabbing order for forms, and verify reading with NVDA, JAWS, and PAC 2024.

Yes. We run multi-engine OCR to generate a clean, searchable text layer, correct OCR spelling anomalies, and then construct a full structural tag tree so assistive technology can navigate the file effortlessly.

Every remediation engagement includes a formal VPAT 2.5 (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) or custom Conformance Report mapping compliance against WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA, Section 508, and PDF/UA-1. This provides legally defensible documentation for procurement and governance.
