Porter creates WCAG & EAA compliant accessible PDFs
Accessible PDFs ensure the text is accessible using screen readers. Read more about accessibility below.
Porter both corrects existing PDFs and produces original PDFs that are accessible from the get-go. If you need your current PDFs to become accessible you can use our Porter Fixer service that quickly and automatically corrects the PDFs. And if you have a production need and want to produce great PDFs without having to fix them, Porter Original will help you do that.

About PDF accessibility
Accessibility is both a legal requirement and, more importantly, a matter of fairness and inclusion. At Porter, we understand the underlying purpose of these standards and work with great care to meet them thoroughly. Here are a few examples of areas that often need fixing.
Remediation of PDF files goes well beyond these points. There are links, forms, reading order, and many other elements — some of them deceptively complex. With Porter, you get full accessibility compliance. We validate both in practice, using a screen reader, and through several technical validators to ensure nothing is missed. We can also advise on accessibility in Office files, not just PDFs. Talk to us about establishing functional workflows that produce accessible documents from the start.
