PDF and Document Accessibility Audits

Your quote reflects the formats, file and page counts, complexity, priorities and assessment required. Tell us about your documents, deadlines and any known concerns. We agree the scope and deliverables before work begins. Any remediation you need is included in the quote as agreed work.

Tell us whether you have PDFs, Word documents, presentations, spreadsheets or other formats. We confirm supported formats and the testing approach in your quote. For scanned or image-only documents, we assess the accessibility implications and identify any text recognition or structural work needed.

A checker result cannot establish whether a document makes sense or can be used successfully. Our specialists manually review the document and test with NVDA, JAWS and operating-system screen readers. We assess reading order, meaningful alternatives, navigation and interaction, with viewers and screen-reader combinations agreed for the formats in scope.

We test applicable WCAG 2.2 A, AA and AAA criteria unless otherwise agreed, documenting failures and non-applicable criteria. PDF/UA assessment is scoped separately by edition and PDF version where required. The quote defines the agreed requirements. Testing against a target does not itself establish conformance or legal compliance.

Coverage can include US ADA and Section 508, Ontario’s AODA and applicable Canadian requirements, Irish and EU requirements including relevant EN 301 549 criteria, and UK accessibility legislation. We agree the jurisdictions, document uses and applicable requirements, including any exceptions. Other jurisdictions can be considered when scoping your project.

Yes. We can scope individual files, templates with representative output, or collections. We agree any audit sample and record its limits. A sample does not establish that every file is accessible. Later authoring and export can introduce new issues, so we define the versions and outputs to be checked.

Tell us the document types, approximate volume, intended use and deadline. We agree file versions, the transfer process and confidentiality requirements before starting; no sensitive upload is needed initially. Available source files can help us understand recurring issues. Added files or new versions may affect scope and timing.

Yes. Alongside audits, we offer PDF and document remediation to correct agreed issues and verify the changes. You can commission an audit on its own or include remediation. We agree the files, source access, approvals, corrections and final outputs in your quote, so the work fits your needs.

Pro access and fix retesting run together for three months from report presentation. Submit revised files through the agreed process so we can verify corrections to audited issues. Pro supports your wider website and content accessibility work. After the included access, we offer a discount on all 12-month plans.

Yes. Accessibility statement writing is an optional addition where relevant to the website or service publishing your documents. We agree its scope and the information needed in your quote. A statement describes accessibility information; it does not replace document testing or remediation.
