Document Accessibility

Document Accessibility

Ensuring PDFs, Word documents, and other files are accessible to screen readers and assistive technologies.

Why Document Accessibility Matters

Just like websites and applications, digital documents need to be accessible to all users—including those with visual, cognitive, or mobility impairments. Whether it’s a PDF brochure, a Word report, an Excel spreadsheet, or a PowerPoint presentation, ensuring your documents meet accessibility standards is crucial for compliance, communication, and inclusion.

At Accessible Minds, we specialize in making documents accessible for everyone. Our team of experts uses a combination of automated tools, manual testing, and assistive technology to remediate and test documents for full accessibility compliance—so you can confidently share your content with all audiences.

What We Offer

PDF Accessibility Testing & Remediation

We perform thorough manual and automated accessibility checks for all types of PDF documents. Our experts review structure tags, alt text, reading order, and other critical elements to ensure compliance with standards such as WCAG 2.2 and PDF/UA.

Microsoft Office Accessibility Testing

Documents created in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are tested beyond built-in checkers. We identify complex issues missed by automation—like contrast problems, heading structures, table layouts, and keyboard navigation issues—and provide clear remediation support.

Google Drive File Accessibility

Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides often fall short on accessibility. Our team helps bridge that gap by manually testing and optimizing these files to meet accessibility requirements, especially when preparing content for public distribution or export to accessible PDF.

OpenOffice & LibreOffice Accessibility Support

With no built-in accessibility testing tools, documents created in these platforms require expert attention. We manually test and remediate documents, ensuring they meet industry standards for accessibility.

Comprehensive Manual Testing

Automated checks are only part of the process. Our manual testing includes:

Code debugging

Screen reader testing

using NVDA and JAWS

Laptop with code

Keyboard-only navigation

Chat box

Color contrast and font readability
