PDF Accessibility Standards & Laws

Accessibility standards are not optional checklists. They exist to ensure equal access to information for all users. Individuals with disabilities must have the same ability to access, understand, and engage with digital content.

ADA Title II/III, Section 508, WCAG 2.2 AA, and PDF/UA outline how organizations must design and maintain accessible materials. With new ADA Title II deadlines in 2026 and 2027, failure to meet these standards carries financial and reputational risk, while adherence demonstrates a lasting commitment to inclusion and accountability.

The 3 PDF Accessibility Standards Every Organization Must Understand

In today’s digital landscape, noncompliance with ADA, WCAG, or Section 508 can expose organizations to costly risk. Accessibility On Demand™ safeguards your data with secure, fully compliant, and accessible documents.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA


Globally recognized guidelines ensuring digital content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. If your PDFs meet WCAG 2.2 AA, you're compliant with most international regulations and prepared for ADA & 508 compliance audits

Section 508 & Intl. Laws

Section 508 mandates digital accessibility compliance in the U.S., but similar requirements exist worldwide: Europe's EN 301 549, Canada's AODA, Australia's DDA, and others. All standards align closely with WCAG 2.2 AA and PDF/UA guidelines.

PDF/UA (ISO 14289)

The international standard that defines accessible PDFs for assistive technologies. Meeting PDF/UA means your PDFs can be reliably accessed by screen readers, enhancing your compliance posture globally.
