Exporting to PDF? Easy. But creating a digitally accessible PDF? That takes more effort. Yet many organizations still have hundreds of inaccessible PDFs in circulation. These are often important documents, such as terms and conditions and privacy statements. Let us make your PDFs accessible. Or learn how to do it yourself. That way, you can be sure that everyone can read your PDFs.
Creating a PDF is very easy. And that is precisely the problem. Because although a PDF may appear to be digitally accessible, this is often not the case. People who use a screen reader, for example, cannot see what is in the PDF.
All kinds of things can go wrong when exporting to PDF. From an unclear title and the wrong language in metadata to the absence of alt text for images. And from an incorrect heading structure to the absence of label fields in tables and forms.
One accessible PDF already ensures that the information in that document is accessible to everyone. And making PDFs accessible on a structural basis? That provides even more benefits.
Compliance with WCAG 2.2. We check and repair PDFs based on the current WCAG 2.2 AA guideline. Or we teach you how to do this yourself in the future. This way, you can be sure that you comply with the most recent accessibility guidelines.
Compliance with PDF/UA. PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) is an ISO standard specifically for accessible PDFs. When we take care of your PDFs, you can be sure that you also comply with PDF/UA.
Legal and financial security. A lot of important information is contained in PDFs. Think of general terms and conditions, a privacy statement, a quotation, or an insurance policy. If these PDFs are accessible, you can be sure that everyone has access to this information. This covers a lot of legal and financial risks.
Greater awareness. When we start working on your PDFs, we like to involve people in your organization. This way, we not only tackle inaccessible PDFs, but also make your colleagues aware of the importance of accessible PDFs. Your organization will benefit from this for a long time to come..
Would you like us to make your PDFs accessible? We'll do that for you. Would you prefer to be able to do it yourself from now on? Or do you need a more structural plan for your PDFs? We're just as happy to help you and your team with that!
