I will remediate PDF accessibility for wcag and section 508
About this Gig
Is your PDF visually correct but difficult to use with a screen reader? I will manually remediate PDF accessibility issues and improve the document's structure for WCAG, Section 508 and PDF/UA-aligned use.
My service can include:
document tags and heading hierarchy
reading order and tab order
alt text for meaningful images
lists, links, tables and bookmarks
language, title and metadata settings
artifacting decorative content
accessibility checker review and manual quality assurance
You will receive the remediated PDF and a clear validation summary. Complex tables, fillable forms, scanned pages and damaged source files require a custom quote.
Please message me before ordering documents with forms, complex tables or more than 30 pages. I do not provide legal certification; I remediate against the standards and scope agreed for your project.

FAQ
WHAT STANDARDS DO YOU WORK TOWARD?
I remediate PDFs toward the agreed WCAG, Section 508 and PDF/UA requirements. The exact standard and validation method should be confirmed before the order starts.
DO YOU GUARANTEE LEGAL COMPLIANCE?
No freelancer can responsibly guarantee legal compliance from a PDF file alone. I provide technical remediation and a validation summary against the agreed accessibility requirements.
CAN YOU FIX SCANNED PDFS?
Yes, but scanned documents normally need OCR and cleanup before accessibility tagging. Please send the file first for a custom quote.
DO YOU REMEDIATE COMPLEX TABLES AND FORMS?
Yes. Complex tables, calculations, signatures and interactive forms require inspection before ordering because the effort varies significantly.
WILL THE VISUAL DESIGN CHANGE?
I preserve the visual appearance wherever possible. If the source PDF is damaged or structurally unsuitable, I will explain any necessary changes before work begins.
WHAT FILES WILL I RECEIVE?
You will receive the remediated PDF plus a concise validation or work summary. Source files are returned only when supplied and used.
WHAT COUNTS AS A REVISION?
A revision covers corrections within the original agreed scope. New pages, changed source content or additional standards are new work.
CAN YOU REMEDIATE CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS?
Yes. Share only the minimum necessary information and remove sensitive data where possible. I will not reuse client documents in my portfolio without permission.
