PDF Accessibility Simplified
Edlio Accessible Documents improves PDF accessibility in multiple ways, creating HTML versions of each document while also providing tools to remediate the original PDF.
As schools and districts work to improve digital accessibility ahead of upcoming ADA Title II deadlines, PDFs have posed a particular challenge, as they are not easily remediated, and there are often large numbers of them on school or district sites. Edlio Accessible Documents addresses both of these issues, and was built to align directly with WCAG, PDF/UA, and ADA Title II, supporting schools in their accessibility and compliance efforts.
HTML Conversion
Instant HTML Conversion:
Every PDF on the school site is automatically converted to an HTML version that becomes the primary document all users see, while the original PDF serves as a print-friendly version. The HTML version is screen reader-friendly, has a customizable view, and features multilingual support.
HTML Document Chat:
HTML versions feature an AI chat interface that summarizes content and allows readers to ask questions within the document.
HTML to PDF Form Fill:
For PDFs with fillable fields, users can complete the form in the HTML version, and information will be transferred to the original PDF.
Native to Edlio CMS:
Accessible Documents provides a seamless experience for Edlio CMS users: both HTML conversion and PDF remediation can be accessed from the same dashboard as other platform features.
Remediate Original PDF Documents
PDF Scanning:
Original PDFs are scanned according to WCAG 2.2 and PDF/UA (PDF/Universal Accessibility).
AI-Powered Remediation:
Common issues are fixed automatically. AI drafts a title, subject, keywords and document language, all of which are editable.
Additional Guidance:
Anything needing additional attention is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions for manual fixes.

“Accessible Documents is the next step in our ongoing commitment to digital accessibility. The foundation of that commitment is designing accessible websites for schools. In 2025, we built on that foundation by launching Edlio Accessibility to give schools the ability to scan and fix issues with site content in one click. Now with Accessible Documents, we are addressing PDFs, so schools can make both their website and the documents that live on it more accessible to everyone.”
