Fix accessibility barriers in your documents and make your PDFs truly inclusive.
At Accessible Minds, we believe digital accessibility is not optional, it is essential. PDF documents are widely used across industries for sharing information, reports, forms, policies, and learning materials. However, when PDFs are not designed or remediated for accessibility, they create significant barriers for people with disabilities. Our PDF Accessibility Services are designed to help organizations create inclusive, compliant, and user-friendly PDF documents that work seamlessly with assistive technologies.
What Are PDF Accessibility Services?
PDF accessibility services focus on making PDF documents usable for people with disabilities, including individuals who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnifiers, or voice input software. An accessible PDF follows a logical structure, includes meaningful tags, readable text, proper navigation, and descriptive alternatives for non-text content.
Accessible Minds provides end-to-end PDF accessibility solutions aligned with global and regional accessibility standards, ensuring your documents are accessible, compliant, and inclusive.

Tagged PDFs provide a seamless reading and navigation experience for users with disabilities.
-
Accessible PDF Forms
Interactive forms often present major accessibility challenges. We ensure your PDF forms are:

- Keyboard navigable with logical tab order
- Equipped with clear instructions and error identification

Accessible forms empower users to independently complete applications, registrations, and surveys.

Alternative Text for Images & Graphics
Images, charts, diagrams, and infographics must convey meaningful information to screen reader users. Our experts create context-appropriate alternative text that accurately describes visual elements without unnecessary detail.
-
Quality Assurance & Assistive Technology Testing
Accessibility remediation is incomplete without validation. We test remediated PDFs using:
- Screen reader testing
- Keyboard-only navigation
- Accessibility validation tools
- Manual expert review
This ensures real-world usability not just automated compliance checks.
