How BMI’s PDF Accessibility Workflow Works
Our technology converts non-compliant PDFs into accessible, WCAG-friendly documents using automated structure detection, intelligent tagging, and compliance validation. This ensures your files are ready for screen readers and assistive technologies—no manual HTML tagging required.
BMI’s workflow analyzes layout, headings, tables, images, and reading order to ensure clear, consistent accessibility output that meets state and federal mandates.
