Accessible PDF Support for Low-Volume, Non-Templated Documents

ClarityPDF allows organizations to effortlessly convert any web page or document into a fully accessible PDF. This ensures everyone – including people with disabilities – can receive the information they need in a format that works for them.

Previously, ClarityPDF.io excelled in generating accessible PDFs from pre-defined templates. This is ideal for high-volume documents like invoices, statements, meeting notes or reports. However, we understand the need for accessible documents extends beyond templates.

Our new functionality caters to situations where you need to generate accessible PDFs on an ad-hoc basis, perhaps for:

• Internal communications: Create accessible PDFs from important internal documents like meeting minutes, policies, or HR materials.
• Public-facing documents: Ensure crucial information on your website, such as press releases, white papers, or specific product information, is accessible in PDF format.
• Legacy documents: Make past documents, which may not have been created with accessibility in mind, accessible for future reference.
• On demand document accessibility: Present accessible online content and interactive forms that get output into fully accessible PDFs without remediation

ClarityPDF.io’s intuitive interface allows you to easily create and manage content across multiple users.  Our automated system produces accessible PDF outputs that are properly tagged, retain correct reading order and can be output in standard and large format versions.

• Automated tagging: ClarityPDF.io intelligently identifies headings, paragraphs, tables, and other elements within your document, adding appropriate tags that screen readers can interpret.
• Alternative text (alt text): Our system automatically generates alt text descriptions for images, providing context for users who rely on screen readers.
• Enforcing color contrast: ClarityPDF.io ensures your document adheres to WCAG color contrast requirements, improving readability for users with visual impairments.
• Logical reading order: The reading order in the PDF matches the visual layout, making it easy for users with screen readers to follow the content.
• Keyboard navigation: Users can navigate the PDF using keyboard commands, ensuring accessibility for those who cannot use a mouse.
• Large format output: Export a large format versions of documents for users with low-vision and vision impairments

ClarityPDF.io recognizes that some documents may contain interactive elements like forms, buttons, or videos. While these components won’t function identically within a static PDF, our system gracefully handles them by:

• Preserving visual representation: We maintain the visual appearance of interactive elements within the PDF, ensuring users understand their intended purpose.
• Providing alternative access: Whenever possible, ClarityPDF.io offers alternative access to information contained within interactive elements. This may involve including the content in plain text or offering clear instructions on how to access the interactive version online.

ClarityPDF.io’s commitment to accessibility extends beyond PDF generation. We offer a complete suite of tools to create a truly inclusive user experience:

• Accessible Online Experiences: Our solutions help ensure your website itself is accessible, removing barriers for users with disabilities.
• Large Format PDF (LF Print) Support: We cater to individuals with low vision by generating accessible LF print outputs, allowing them to access information in magnified format.

By offering this comprehensive approach, ClarityPDF.io allows you to create a seamless, accessible experience for all users, regardless of how they choose to access information.

Don’t let low-volume, non-templated documents become barriers to information access. With ClarityPDF.io, you can effortlessly generate WCAG-compliant PDFs, ensuring everyone receives the information they need in an accessible format.
