Document Remediation

Accessible documents done right

We make PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and more
fully readable by screen readers and other assistive technologies.

What We Evaluate

Many documents appear accessible visually but create major barriers for users of assistive technology. A PDF that a screen reader can’t understand means a constituent can’t read a government form, a student can’t access course materials, or a patient can’t review their own health information. 508 Guidehouse remediates documents to meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 standards, so your content reaches everyone it’s meant for.

Many common issues include:

  • Missing heading structures
  • Incorrect reading order
  • Untagged PDFs
  • Missing alt text
  • Poor table formatting

What our remediation includes:

  • Proper tagging and logical reading order
  • Alt text for all images, charts, and graphics
  • Accessible tables and form fields
  • Bookmarks and navigation structure
  • Color contrast review
  • Verification against PDF/UA and WCAG 2.1 AA

Our process: We review your document, identify all accessibility barriers, remediate the file, and perform a quality check before delivery. For large document libraries, we can help you prioritize based on usage and risk.

Turnaround: Most single documents are returned within 2-3 business days. Rush options are available — contact us to discuss your deadline.
