Porter creates WCAG & EAA compliant Accessible PDFs automatically.
Accessible PDFs ensure the text is accessible using screen readers.
There are many pieces to the puzzle: Tagged content, Hierarchical styles, Table Columns, Rows, Headers and Fields. Everything marked with correct Metada. Accessible PDFs include bookmarks, a linked table of contents, descriptive hyperlinks for easy navigation, alternative text for images, and more.
Porter produces accessible PDFs programmatically, without manual editing. We can also fix your old PDFs, on scale.
Service paths to accessibility
Our core focus is automating, both the report building and the accessibility compliance. We can help you in several ways.
Tweaking of existing PDFs
We can do these manually or automatically on scale.
Sometimes you have PDFs (maybe even lots of them) that weren’t beautifully automated by Porter, and you need to make them acceptably accessible. We’ll help you out.
Your system + Porter API > Accessible PDFs
You already have an automated system but you need better PDFs than it gives you.
Hook up to the Porter API and run the last step via Porter.
Custom & Complex > Your own automated pipeline
Reports with advanced import, data handling and design.
We can create a custom solution just for you.
Accessibility for PDF-files is
Metadata
Document language, title and other definitions.
Tags & structure
The document objects and structure need to be tagged. (texts, images, tables…)
Bookmarks
Bookmarks help the reader quickly get to a particular spot in the document.
Images
Images need either a text representation or to be marked as artefacts.
Styles
Header hierarchy is defined and consistent throughout the document.
Tables
Table headers and cells and their roles are marked.
