Making PDFs Truly Accessible
PDFally helps organizations remediate their PDFs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, Section 508 standards, and ensure every user—regardless of ability—can access their documents.
Our Mission
Millions of documents remain inaccessible to people with disabilities. PDFs in particular—used everywhere from government forms to educational materials—often lack the fundamental accessibility features needed for screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies.
We built PDFally to solve this problem. Our platform connects you with expert remediation specialists to transform inaccessible PDFs into fully compliant, accessible documents—quickly, affordably, and at scale.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliant Documents
Why PDF Accessibility Matters
Legal Compliance
WCAG 2.1 compliance is required under ADA regulations, Section 508, and many state/local laws. Non-compliant documents expose organizations to litigation risk.
Inclusive Design
Over 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities. Accessible PDFs ensure everyone can access your information, products, and services.
Better UX for Everyone
Accessible PDFs work better for all users—on mobile devices, with screen readers, and in search engines. It's a win-win.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WCAG 2.1 and why does it matter?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 is the international standard for digital accessibility. Level AA is the legal requirement under ADA and Section 508. It ensures documents work for people with visual, hearing, mobility, and cognitive disabilities.
Can PDFs really be fully accessible?
Yes. PDFs have built-in accessibility features (tagging, metadata, alt text, logical reading order) that, when properly implemented, make them as accessible as web pages. Most inaccessible PDFs just need proper remediation.
How long does remediation take?
Most documents are completed within 48 hours. Complexity varies based on document length, number of images, forms, and tables. You'll get an estimate upfront.
Do you handle scanned PDFs and images?
Yes. We handle both digital PDFs and scanned documents. Scanned files require OCR processing first, which may take longer, but the result is fully accessible and searchable.
What file formats do you support?
We primarily work with PDFs, which is the most common format. Contact us about other formats like Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.
Is there a way to prevent accessibility issues in the future?
Absolutely. We provide guidance on creating accessible PDFs from the start using tools like Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Word. Accessible creation is faster and cheaper than remediation.
