PDF accessibility remediation

Accessible PDFs for the papers that push science forward.

AcademicDocs remediates research PDFs for screen readers — figures, data tables, and formulas tagged correctly, reading order rebuilt, and every file checked against WCAG 2.1 AA and PDF/UA before it ships.

What gets tagged

Figures & charts

Alt text written against the underlying data — plots, micrographs, gels, and diagrams.

Data tables

Row and column headers programmatically linked to their cells, including nested headers.

Equations

Formulas tagged as MathML — navigable and readable, not flattened to an image.

Reading order

Multi-column layouts and floating figures resolved to one correct, linear sequence.

Headings & structure

A proper heading hierarchy and document outline, built for navigation by section.

Citations & footnotes

Reference links and footnote markers tagged so readers can move between them and back.

Who it's for

Research labs

Papers & preprints

Manuscripts remediated before submission or repository deposit.

Medical journals

Editorial pipelines

Accepted articles processed at volume, with a conformance report per file.

University presses

Monographs & reports

Long-form scholarly documents with complex figure and table layouts.

Request access

We're opening AcademicDocs to a first cohort of labs, journals, and accessibility offices later this year. Submit a request to be notified — and to help shape what ships first.
