For cities, school and special districts, and clinics in Los Angeles County

Your PDFs, readable by everyone, before the deadline.

Most public PDFs (agendas, minutes, forms, flyers) can't be read by blind or low-vision residents using screen readers. We fix them: proper tags and reading order, alt text for images, labeled fillable forms, and the right language for Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean content. Every file comes with a validation report.

The deadlines are set. Under the U.S. Department of Justice ADA Title II rule, state and local governments of 50,000 people or more must meet WCAG 2.1 AA for web content, including PDFs, by April 26, 2027. Smaller cities and all special districts have until April 26, 2028. Health providers that receive HHS funding and have 15 or more employees face a similar Section 504 deadline of May 11, 2027.

What we do, in plain English

Text documents

Agendas, minutes, staff reports, flyers. We add structure (headings, lists, tables with headers), set the title and language, and describe every meaningful image.

Scanned pages

A scan is just a picture, and a screen reader hears nothing. We convert it to real text, proofread it against the image, and tag it.

Forms

We turn print-only or poorly built forms into fillable forms where every field has a spoken name and a logical tab order.

Other languages

Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean sections are tagged with their language, so screen readers pronounce them correctly.

How we check: every file is validated with veraPDF (the open-source PDF/UA-1 checker) and spot-checked with the NVDA screen reader. We use AI-assisted tools with human review. If your files must not be processed by AI tools, tell us and we will quote a manual-only option.
