Document & PDF remediation

We make your PDFs and other documents accessible at volume, to WCAG 2.1 AA, and certify each one. For the New Mexico Department of Health we remediated 600+ PDFs in one month.

Documents are where many accessibility programs stall. Organizations publish forms, reports and notices as PDFs for years, and each one has to be tagged, ordered, described and checked before a screen reader can use it. ADA Title II puts those PDFs in scope for state and local governments.

We run document remediation as a service, on Ockem Proof, the platform we built for document remediation. It checks every document against WCAG 2.1 AA with veraPDF plus its own detectors, fixes mechanical issues automatically and leaves the judgment calls to people. A document is certified only when every check is resolved.

For the New Mexico Department of Health we remediated 600+ PDFs to WCAG 2.1 AA in one month, May 2026: automated fixes where the rules are mechanical, a person for every judgment call, and a record of every decision.

Every document checked, fixed and certified.

  • An inventory first

    Every document you publish, where it lives and who owns it, so the work is ordered by what people actually open.

  • Automated fixes

    Mechanical issues fixed by the platform: 63–74% of WCAG 2.1 AA defects, measured across 10,631 findings in a government corpus.

  • Human judgment

    People decide what a machine should not: what an image means, how a complex table reads. Self-hosted AI drafts alt text; a person approves it.

  • Certification per document

    A document is certified only when every check is resolved, never in bulk.

  • An audit trail

    What was found, what was fixed, by the platform or by whom, and when — for every file.

  • New documents stay compliant

    A path for what you publish next: accessible templates, trained authors and a check before anything goes live.

From a folder of PDFs to certified documents.

  1. Inventory

    Collect and rank your documents by use, owner and deadline.

  2. Check and fix

    Every document checked against WCAG 2.1 AA; mechanical issues fixed automatically.

  3. Review

    People resolve the judgment calls: images, tables, reading order of complex layouts.

  4. Certify

    Each document certified when every check is resolved, with its record kept.

  5. Keep

    New documents checked before they are published, and authors trained to get them right.
