I have an inaccessible PDF(s) where do I start?
Microlink is here to help you make your everyday PDFs accessible for disabled people. No job is too small, as we can remediate one page if required.
- What does “remediation” mean?
It means fixing your PDFs so that disabled people find them easier to use. - Making your PDFs accessible: We make sure your PDFs meet accessibility standards (PDF/UA and WCAG 2.2 AA), so they work well with screen readers.
- What’s a screen reader?
It’s a tool that reads out loud what’s on the screen, helping blind or visually impaired people use digital content.
How much will it cost?
- Free check-up: We’ll check your PDF(s) for free to see if they are ready to be remediated. We’ll check things like colour contrast, tags, and fonts.
- Checking complexity: We’ll review your PDFs for free to see if pages have standard or complex content. Please note blank pages are excluded.
- Requesting a quote: Once we have checked and undertaken a complexity assessment of your files this will help us to prepare a more accurate quote for you. Prior to uploading your file(s) we have provided the following to give you an idea of costs.
- Costs:
- Standard: £3.92 per page
- Complex: £4.61 per page
- Extra work (e.g. colour contrast, tagging, checking fonts, or design recommendations): £29 per hour.
- Are you a charity? If you’re a registered charity, send us your charity number in a letter including your logo and address as a PDF or Microsoft Word document. We’ll discuss alternative pricing.
How quickly can you turn this around?
- Pages per day: We can usually fix 50 to 100 pages per day, depending on how complex the documents are.
- Accurate time frame: Once we have been able to check your PDFs, we will be able to give you a much more accurate turnaround time.
