Making Your Documents Accessible: Remediate with Confidence

Three ways to remediate your documents — and why DocAccess is the easiest.

Making your public documents ADA-compliant is important — but it doesn’t have to be complicated. There are three main approaches to document remediation, and one stands out as the best by far:

👉 DocAccess is the easiest, smartest, and most cost-effective solution.


✅ Option 1: Use DocAccess (Best & Easiest!)

DocAccess
is Streamline’s built-in tool that automatically makes your documents accessible — with minimal effort needed.

Why choose DocAccess?

  • Automatic remediation: Upload your files, and DocAccess handles tagging, reading order, alt text, and more

  • Always current: As laws and standards evolve, DocAccess stays updated with the latest compliance requirements

  • Language translation built in: Supports over 150+ languages

DocAccess is your all-in-one, future-proof solution — and it’s built right into Streamline.


🧰 Option 2: Do-It-Yourself Remediation

If your team has the time and tools, you can manually make documents accessible using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Please note:

  • Streamline staff are website accessibility experts, not PDF remediation specialists

  • We’re unable to provide direct support with remediation software or techniques

  • Your team is fully responsible for checking and maintaining compliance

🧠 Best for: Teams with accessibility training, technical confidence, and time to manage manual remediation


🤝 Option 3: Use a Remediation Partner

If you need a fully remediated PDF or have a small number of files, we can connect you with a trusted partner.

What to expect:

  • Professionally remediated documents

  • Full compliance with WCAG 2.1 and Section 508

  • Optional documentation or reports

  • $7 per page, up to 5 business days turnaround

🧳 Best for: Special cases, like legally required formatting or extremely limited volume

⚠️ Outside of our partners, traditional remediation typically costs $9–$40+ per page depending on complexity.

💸 For most districts, this option is slow, expensive, and hard to scale — DocAccess is a better fit in nearly every case.
