I will convert scanned PDF to accessible searchable PDF with ocr
About this Gig
I convert scanned, image-based PDFs into accessible, searchable, WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 compliant documents so old paper files and photocopies become readable by screen readers, not just image blobs.
I'm Sanjay, founder of Eyes On PDF. My 15+ specialist team has remediated 80,000+ pages to WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, and Section 508 compliance for clients including RBC, Aetna, U.S. SEC & CUNY DHS Trusted Tester and Adobe Certified Accessibility Professional certified.
I deliver:
- OCR text recognition & extraction
- Structure recreation (headings, paragraphs, lists)
- Accessible tagging & reading order
- Alt text for embedded images
- Searchable, selectable, copyable text
- Screen reader testing (JAWS, NVDA)
Ideal for: legacy archives, old contracts, scanned government records, historical reports, and any photocopied or image-only PDF that needs to become accessible.
Tools: Adobe Acrobat Pro, axesPDF, PAC every file is manually reviewed after OCR, not just auto-processed and left untagged.

FAQ
What if my scanned document is low quality or blurry?
I can still process most scans, but very poor quality may need image cleanup first — message me with a sample page and I'll confirm before you order.
Will the text be selectable and searchable after OCR?
Yes — that's the core of this service. Your document goes from a flat image to fully searchable, selectable, screen-reader-readable text.
Do you work with handwritten documents?
OCR works best on typed/printed text. Handwritten content usually needs manual transcription message me first so I can review and quote accurately.
Will my document pass a Section 508 or WCAG audit after this?
Yes I add proper tagging, reading order, and structure on top of OCR so the final file meets WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 requirements, not just plain text recognition.
What if my file has 30+ pages?
Message me before ordering so I can review scan quality and give an accurate custom quote.
