PDF Accessibility
Your PDFs can be Truly Accessible
Accessibility widgets and overlays can improve website usability, but documents require proper structure, reading order, tagging, headings, alt text, and semantic remediation. WebAbility helps teams move from surface-level access to accessible documents users can actually navigate.

Accessible PDFs Create Better Experiences
Accessible documents are easier to read, navigate, search, and understand. With proper tagging, semantic structure, reading order, alt text, and screen reader compatibility, your PDFs become usable for every visitor while supporting ADA and WCAG 2.2 requirements.
Accessible PDFs matter across every sector
Government agencies can meet ADA Title II electronic-document deadlines without replacing their existing CMS or workflow.
Universities & schools can make syllabuses, course packs, and financial-aid documents reachable by every student.
Legal & compliance teams can produce audit-ready conformance reports and satisfy procurement requirements without manual remediation.
Healthcare providers can ensure patient forms, discharge instructions and benefit guides reach people who rely on assistive technology.
