The Case for WCAG Compliance
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a global standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative. Its purpose is to ensure content is accessible to everyone, particularly people with disabilities, and to optimise accessibility across various devices, such as mobile phones and tablets. The goal is to make vital information available to all, regardless of their circumstances.
Beyond the ethical and commercial incentives for businesses to make their content accessible, there are also legal obligations in many countries, particularly for government agencies. For instance, the Australian Disability Discrimination Act, 1992, mandates that government agencies provide information and services in a non-discriminatory, accessible manner. Similar regulations exist in the United States, Canada, the UK, and the European Union, where we proudly serve clients across these regions.
How To Create Tagged PDF Files
Creating a tagged PDF involves enhancing the content to ensure accessibility for visually impaired users. This process utilises a variety of techniques, including:
- Adding descriptive (alt) text for all graphics and photos
- Adjusting contrast and font sizes for better readability
- Incorporating tags and tabbing to establish the correct reading order
- Adding bookmarks and a table of contents for easy navigation
- Creating electronically fillable forms

Document Tagging in a Nutshell
Ensuring your PDF files are accessible is crucial, whether you’re a commercial enterprise or a government authority. Accessible content broadens your reach and ensures that everyone, regardless of ability, can access your information. For public entities, accessibility is often a legal requirement, and for all content publishers, it’s an ethical obligation to provide equal access.
