    Document Tagging for Accessible PDF (PDF/UA)

    if you don't have the right skills and tools to create,
    correct and check PDF documents.

    We accept the challenge of making any PDF document
    accessible regardless of the origin of the source document,
    and we deliver an accessible PDF back to you
    - complying with all legal and standards requirements.

    Just send us your PDF file for a first evaluation.
    Based on that you receive an offer from us.

    What we do and deliver to you

    Accessible PDF is not about visual or editorial design,
    but about applying digital accessibility standards to define an
    internal technical description of the contents of the PDF document
    so that accessibility devices can accurately reproduce the content.

    In return you get an accessible PDF from us
    that has retained its original look.

    However, we have added an invisible layer with instructions
    to serve people using assistive technologies in reading,
    understanding and navigating the PDF content on an equal footing
    - the document is accessible for everyone.


axes4 Services - Document Tagging Structure - Picture


    • Comprehensive and rich semantics

      • Appropriate tags are added to
      the content of the PDF and may include:

      • Headings

      • Paragraphs

      • Lists

      • Tables

      • Links

      • Figures / Images / Graphics

      • Captions

      • Notes

      • Form fields

      • Formulas

      • Quotations

      • Table of Contents


    • Correct reading order

      • The order of the tags,
      also known as the logical order,
      follows the natural reading order.

      You can see the logical order for example in
      the Screenreader Preview of the free (no-cost) tool:

    • Identification of artifacts

      • Decorative elements, repeated content in
      page headers and footers and other elements
      that are not relevant for understanding
      the document are marked as artifacts.

    Quality Assurance (QA)

    We make a thorough test of all PDF documents based on
    accessibility requirements from PDF/UA and WCAG
    to make sure that you get compliant PDF documents.

    We combine automatic test tools and manual procedures
    to achieve the best result.

    If PDF/A-2a is required, we do this conversion as a final step
    before delivering the PDF document to you.

        2. We have a close look at the logical structure
