Users with disabilities rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, keyboard navigation, or more. Without remediation, documents may be unreadable or unusable for them.

Business & Organizational Value

Accessible documents increase the chance to expand reach to a wider audience, including employees, clients, and customers with disabilities. This fosters inclusivity and demonstrates social responsibility.

Improved Usability & Searchability

Properly tagged and structured documents do not only improve accessibility but also simpler to navigate, index and search by benefiting all users, not just those with disabilities.

Remediation ensures that documents remain usable across devices, platforms, and assistive technologies, extending their lifecycle and usability.

Organizations are required to comply with accessibility laws and standards like ADA, Section 508, WCAG, EAA, PDF/UA (ISO Standard 14289-1), and any other local accessibility standards. Non-compliance can lead to lawsuits, penalties, and reputational damage.
