PDF Accessibility for Section 508 Contractors

A remediation and reporting workflow for teams that need accessible PDFs as part of federal procurement.

Short answer

For Section 508 work, the PDF is only half the deliverable. The other half is evidence.

ADAComply is designed to remediate PDFs to PDF accessibility standards and provides per-document reports that can support internal review, accessibility documentation, and VPAT/ACR workflows.

What contractors usually need

Proposal teams

Documents that do not create accessibility risk during procurement review.

Product teams

Reports, manuals, and release PDFs that align with accessibility commitments.

Compliance teams

Repeatable reports that show what was tested and remediated.

Standards tested

  • Remediate PDF deliverables before submitting them.
  • Use dashboard reports for internal accessibility review.
  • Use reports as supporting evidence when drafting procurement documentation.
