PDF accessibility
We are experts in PDF accessibility with many years' experience in this field (including writing a PDF accessibility how-to guide for the BBC which is now incorporated into the BBC's own web standards and guidelines).
We can upgrade your PDFs to make them accessible, either as part of the initial document production process or retrospectively.
Accessible PDF training
We also provide PDF accessibility training. Courses can be tailored to cater for both non-technical document authors and for more technically orientated website editors and producers. Advanced courses include accessible PDF forms and dealing with complex tables and scanned documents, all of which can be made fully accessible.

- Substantial time savings for document authors
- Smaller document sizes and faster downloads
- Better usability for all readers
- Improved search engine rankings
- Wider audience reach
