02 / Built around your ambition
Our document accessibility services for PDF and Word — 8 Compliant Solutions
- 01
PDF tagging and PDF/UA compliance
We tag PDFs with correct structure, headings, lists and tables, then validate against PDF/UA so screen readers can interpret each document accurately.
- 02
Microsoft Word document accessibility
Word files are rebuilt with proper heading styles, table headers, alt text and language settings, and we supply accessible templates for future documents.
- 03
PowerPoint accessibility for presentations
We fix slide titles, reading order, contrast and alt text in PowerPoint decks so presentations work when shared, downloaded or read with screen readers.
- 04
Excel accessibility for tables and dashboards
Spreadsheets get defined header rows, descriptive sheet names, chart descriptions and clear structure, so data in tables and dashboards is navigable.
- 05
Alt text writing for embedded images
We write concise, context-aware alt text for photos, charts and diagrams, describing what matters to the reader rather than applying generic labels.
- 06
Document reading order remediation
We correct the tag and content order in complex layouts such as multi-column reports, so assistive technology reads text in its intended sequence.
- 07
Form field accessibility
PDF form fields receive labels, tooltips, logical tab order and error guidance, allowing people using assistive technology to complete forms independently.
- 08
Volume document remediation programmes
For large archives, we set up batch workflows with per-document pricing, quality checks and progress reporting to clear backlogs without draining your team.
The Payoff

How we work / From idea to impact
Our Document Accessibility Process
- 01
Inventory and triage
We review your documents, group them by complexity and agree which to remediate, rebuild or retire.
- 02
Fix at source where possible
Where the original Word or InDesign file exists, we correct styles and structure before exporting.
- 03
Tag and set reading order
We apply and check tags, reading order, language settings, bookmarks and table headers in each PDF.
- 04
Forms, images and links
Form fields, alt text and link descriptions are added or corrected so every element is usable.
- 05
Check and test
Documents are validated with PAC and Acrobat checks, then spot-tested with a screen reader.
- 06
Templates and guidance
We hand over accessible templates and a short guide so new documents are created correctly.

Contact usDocument Accessibility Services for PDF and Word
Document accessibility services for PDF and Word are an often-overlooked component of overall accessibility compliance. Many organisations build accessible websites but distribute hundreds of inaccessible PDF reports, Word policies, PowerPoint decks and Excel dashboards. For government suppliers, education institutions, healthcare providers and enterprise vendors, document accessibility is increasingly required by procurement, regulation and law — Section 508 in the US, EU EAA in Europe, and various national accessibility standards globally. Devintek remediates documents to PDF/UA (ISO 14289) compliance for PDF, WCAG-aligned standards for Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Our process covers proper tagging structure (headings, lists, tables, figures), reading order remediation so screen readers traverse the document logically, alt text for embedded images and charts, accessible form field tagging in PDF forms, table structure with proper header associations, and language and metadata tagging. We work both on individual high-priority documents (annual reports, policy documents, key marketing brochures) and on volume remediation programmes (education content libraries, policy archives, regulatory document sets). For organisations with ongoing document production, we run half-day team training workshops on accessible authoring in Word, PowerPoint and Excel, plus provide branded accessible templates and quick-reference guides so future documents start accessible rather than needing post-production remediation. Every document we deliver passes automated accessibility validation (Adobe Acrobat checker, PAC 2024, axe), manual screen reader testing (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), and includes documented compliance evidence for distribution and audit purposes.
