Accessible Document Service
We help you turn inaccessible PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel workbooks into accessible files so you can serve everyone without overwhelming your team. Whether you have one document or an ongoing backlog, The Accessibility Guy helps you define the work, address accessibility barriers, and verify the results.
Your documents need attention. Your team is already busy.
- Accessibility errors can leave people unable to read a document, navigate its content, or complete a form.
- Your team may have files that fail accessibility checks, documents with complex layouts, or a backlog that keeps growing. Fixing them takes time and skills your staff may not have available.
We help you move that work forward.

We remediate PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, from individual documents to ongoing backlogs.

Questions about document remediation
What document formats do you remediate?
We remediate PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. Send your documents for review so we can confirm the work involved.
Can you help with one document or an ongoing backlog?
Yes. We work with individual documents, batches of files, and ongoing remediation needs. For larger backlogs, we can discuss priorities and staged delivery.
How much does document remediation cost?
Pricing depends on document length, complexity, accessibility requirements, and deadline. We review your files before confirming the scope and price.
How long does remediation take?
Turnaround depends on the size and complexity of your project. Include your deadline when requesting a quote so we can confirm availability and a delivery timeline.
Which accessibility standards do you work with?
We establish the requirements for your project, which may include WCAG, Section 508, or PDF/UA. Your quote identifies the accessibility target and verification included.
Do you remediate scanned PDFs and fillable forms?
Yes. Scanned PDFs may need text recognition and correction. Fillable forms require review of field labels, keyboard navigation, and document structure.
How do you check the completed documents?
Our process combines accessibility tools with manual review. The checks and testing included in your project are defined in the quote.
What should I submit for a quote?
Send your documents, your deadline, and any accessibility requirements you have been given. Include the original source files when available.
What happens if I edit a document after remediation?
Changes can introduce new accessibility barriers. Edited files may need another review or additional remediation. Contact us to confirm the work involved.
What if I need help planning the work?
Book a consultation. We can discuss your document inventory, priorities, and how to divide the work into manageable stages.
