Content Accessibility PDFs – WCAG & BITV

Barrier-Free Documents That Comply with International Accessibility Standards.

Accessible PDFs, built right from the layout.

We create and adapt PDFs to meet the highest accessibility standards — including WCAG 2.1 and BITV compliance. From tagging structure to screen reader logic, we ensure your content is usable for everyone, regardless of ability or device.

More and more organizations — especially in the public sector, healthcare, finance, and education — are legally required to provide accessible digital documents. But accessibility isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about ensuring that your communications can actually be read, understood, and used by everyone. We build accessible PDFs that meet compliance and respect your brand.

PDF/UA tagging and structure

Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and reading order are tagged correctly for assistive technologies.

01

Alternative text and metadata

All images and non-text elements include appropriate, context-aware alt text and document-level metadata.

02

Screen reader compatibility

We test for logical flow, keyboard navigation, and usability with leading screen readers.

03

Colour contrast and typography adjustments

We review and correct contrast ratios, font sizes, and layout logic to meet WCAG standards — without breaking the design.

04

Compliance with WCAG 2.1 and BITV

We build to meet both international and German accessibility laws, including public-sector requirements.

05

We integrate accessibility from layout to export — not as a workaround.

Our designers and media professionals know how to build accessible files from the ground up — so there’s no need to “fix it later.” That saves time, avoids compliance risks, and delivers a better experience for all users.

What standards do your accessible PDFs meet? We build to WCAG 2.1, PDF/UA, and BITV standards — ensuring your files meet both international and German legal requirements.

Do you adapt existing files or only create from scratch? We do both. We can tag and repair legacy documents or build accessibility in from the initial layout for new content.

Can you provide accessibility reports or test results? Yes. We validate files using tools like PAC and Acrobat Preflight, and can supply test reports as needed.

How do you balance accessibility with design? We optimize contrast, hierarchy, and layout without compromising brand — so your documents stay on-brand and compliant.

What languages and document types do you support? We work in multiple languages and across all document types — brochures, forms, reports, presentations, and beyond.

We ensure:

Clean tagging and logical document structurelayouts

Alt text strategy aligned with content purpose

Clear, consistent navigation hierarchy

Compatibility with Adobe Acrobat, JAWS, NVDA and other AT tools

Delivery of validated files — tested and reportable
