46%

Approximately 46% of PDF files are not correctly tagged to meet accessibility standards.

AFTIA's PAR application leverages Adobe's AI-based PDF Services APIs to reduce approximately 90% of the effort required to make PDF documents accessible.  PDF accessibility tag structure is automatically generated along with bookmarks and Alt-text for images and hyperlinks. A before-and-after comparison report details the accessibility improvements and indicates where manual remediation for colour contrast or reading order issues may be required. Your organization can choose from a variety of options - using our self-service web portal or our managed service for automated PDF remediation and couple that with accessibility training to enable your team, or let us take care of everything and manually remediate your documents up to WCAG standards.

Accessibility is More Than Compliance, It's a Commitment to Equal Access

Whether serving students, educators, or citizens, your organization's information should be acessible to everyone. Inaccessible PDF's create barriers that exclude individuals with disabilities from essential information and services. AFTIA's PAR service helps education and government teams create inclusive, barrier-free communication with efficiency and confidence.
