Traditional document tools create accessibility problems: incorrect heading hierarchy (H1 jumping to H3), broken keyboard navigation, missing alt text warnings, and inconsistent structure. ClarityPDF eliminates these common accessibility errors that make PDF remediation necessary.

Your PDF Remediation Problem Is A Symptom. ClarityPDF is The Cure.

Every year, organizations spend millions on PDF remediation services—paying a per document fee to fix PDFs that shouldn’t have been broken in the first place. Then they update those documents and pay again. And again. This isn’t accessibility. It’s a tax on ignorance.

The Endless PDF Remediation Trap

Step 1: Create – You create PDFs in Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, or PowerPoint
Step 2: Discover – Accessibility checker reveals your “accessible” PDF has 47 compliance errors
Step 3: Pay – Send to remediation vendor who charges $100-200 per document
Step 4: Update – Content needs updating next month (new data, revised policy, corrected typo)
Step 5: Pay Again – Every update requires complete re-remediation at full price
Return to Step 1 – The cycle never ends. Your budget never recovers.

Traditional publishing tools create accessibility problems. ClarityPDF Create eliminates these common accessibility errors that make PDF remediation necessary.

The Remediation Industry’s Dirty Secret

What PDF Remediation Vendors Don’t Want You to Know

Three Inconvenient Truths:

Truth #1: They Profit from Your Broken Workflow PDF remediation vendors have zero incentive to help you stop creating broken PDFs. Their business model depends on you coming back month after month, document after document. If you learned to create accessible content correctly, they’d lose revenue.
Truth #2: “Accessible PDF” Services Create Technical Compliance, Not Usability Many remediation vendors optimize for passing automated checkers, not actual usability by people with disabilities. They add tags that satisfy validators while creating confusing navigation and poor user experiences.
Truth #3: The Industry Normalizes Dysfunction “PDF accessibility is expensive and time-consuming” becomes accepted wisdom. But it’s only expensive because workflows are broken. It’s only time-consuming because the wrong tools are being used. The remediation industry benefits from this ignorance.

The Complete Solution

Three Steps to Break Free from Remediation Forever

Breaking free from the remediation cycle isn’t about finding a cheaper vendor. It’s about fundamentally changing how your organization creates and manages accessible content. ClarityPDF provides three integrated capabilities that work together to make remediation obsolete.

Step 1: Transform Your Legacy Documents Once

ClarityPDF Parse is where most organizations start—and for good reason. You likely have hundreds or thousands of existing documents that need to be accessible. Traditional remediation would cost $50-200 per document and lock your content into static PDFs that can’t be edited without starting over.

Parse takes a different approach. Upload your PDFs, Word documents, even scanned images. Our AI-powered processing extracts the content, rebuilds the structure, and creates editable, accessible versions in minutes instead of hours. Process individual files or thousands simultaneously—the platform handles both with equal ease.

The transformation is remarkable: documents that would cost $150 each to remediate traditionally process for $2-8. More importantly, you’re not getting locked PDFs back. You’re getting living, editable content that you can update, refine, and republish as many times as needed. No additional costs. No re-remediation. Ever.

Organizations typically save 85-95% compared to traditional remediation, but the real value is strategic: you’re transforming a liability into an asset you control.

Step 2: Create Content That’s Accessible from Day One

Once your legacy content is handled, the question becomes: how do you stop creating new documents that will need remediation?

This is where most organizations fail. They return to Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, create content, export to PDF, and discover it’s broken again. The cycle continues because the tools haven’t changed.

Clarity Create solves this at the architectural level. It’s not Microsoft Word with accessibility features bolted on—it’s a purpose-built editor where accessibility is foundational. The platform simply doesn’t allow you to create inaccessible content.

When you insert an image, you must provide alt text—there’s no “skip” option. When you add a heading, the platform enforces proper hierarchy automatically. Create a table, and it’s accessible by default with proper headers and structure. Use color for information, and the system requires an additional non-color indicator.

This isn’t “checking” for accessibility problems after you create them. It’s making accessibility problems impossible to create in the first place. The architecture prevents errors rather than detecting them.

The result? Content creators without any accessibility expertise build compliant materials daily. Faculty, policy analysts, marketing teams—they all create accessible content because the platform makes it automatic. No training. No checking. No remediation. Just content that works for everyone.

Step 3: Publish to Any Format Automatically

Here’s where the platform comes together: you’ve transformed your legacy content and you’re creating new materials accessibly. Now you need to publish—to PDF for formal distribution, to your website for online access, maybe to multiple languages for diverse audiences.

Clarity Publish generates all these outputs automatically from your source content. Create once, publish everywhere. Every format is compliant. Every version passes validation.

The PDFs we generate aren’t like the broken files Word creates. They’re properly structured, completely tagged, and pass both Adobe Acrobat and CommonLook accessibility validation—the industry’s strictest testing tools. These are the same validators your auditors and compliance teams use, so when we say “accessible,” we mean it by the standards that matter.

Need to update something? Edit your content in Create and republish. Takes seconds. All formats update automatically. All versions remain compliant. No re-remediation. No additional costs.

This is what breaks the cycle permanently: editable content that you can refine endlessly, published to any format you need, always accessible, always under your control.
