Built Around Your Documents

Every organization generates documents differently. CurbEffect learns your specific document formats, billing systems, and terminology before we touch anything — then builds a remediation pipeline that delivers accessible PDFs designed to conform with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1), automatically, every cycle.

Four Steps to Ongoing Compliance

Discovery

We start with a focused discovery engagement to understand your document types, your billing or document-generation system, and the specific structure and terminology of your output. Utility bills, public notices, and templated government documents each have unique layouts, reading order requirements, and semantic meaning that generic tools don't account for. We map your format once — so every document we produce after that is built around your specific requirements, not a one-size-fits-all algorithm.

Pipeline Build

We build a remediation pipeline customized to your document format. Whether your documents come from a utility billing system, a document management platform, or a Word or InDesign template, we intercept the PDF output and apply correct tag structure, reading order, table relationships, and accessibility metadata — producing a properly tagged, PDF/UA-1 conformant document on every run. No changes to your existing systems or workflows required.

Delivery with Validation

Every document we deliver comes with a veraPDF validation report — independent, open-standard proof of PDF/UA-1 conformance. Not a compliance claim. Not an overlay certificate. A documented audit trail showing exactly what was checked and what passed — for your legal team, your procurement office, and the DOJ.

Real Time Compliance

Integrate the remediation pipeline into your existing systems to ensure ongoing compliance and accessibility as new documents are published. We work with your IT team to set up a seamless, automated process that runs on every document — so you can be confident that every PDF you publish meets accessibility standards, without adding any extra steps to your workflow.

Accessible-By Design

Your team learns how to create accessible documents from the start, with training and documentation customized to your specific document formats and systems. We empower your team to maintain accessibility in-house, with confidence and independence — while we run the remediation pipeline on the back end, ensuring every PDF you publish is designed to be accessible to all users. The ultimate goal - CurbEffect becomes an 'as-needed' partner as you build your internal capacity to maintain accessibility on your own.
