The problem

PDFs can look right and still have barriers.

Missing labels or the wrong reading order make a form hard to use with a screen reader. HHS now requires accessible web content, including PDFs.

Fixing every form takes time your team may not have. We do it for you.

FAQ

Questions

Will our forms look different?

We preserve your content and aim to keep your layout. Anything that changes content or layout, like making a print-only form fillable, is agreed with you in advance.

How is the work done?

The work is AI-assisted: we use AI and automated tools to make the fixes, then check every file against our 10-point checklist, including a word-for-word comparison with your original and a page-by-page visual check.

What do you test, and what don’t you?

Every file gets PDF/UA-1 validation (veraPDF) and the 10-point checklist below. Hands-on testing with screen-reader software is not currently included by default, and each report says exactly which checks were done.

What’s on the 10-point checklist?
  1. PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1) validation passes
  2. Title and language set
  3. Headings in logical order
  4. Reading order matches the page
  5. Images described or marked decorative
  6. Table headers defined
  7. Form fields labeled
  8. Text and numbers match the original
  9. Page-by-page visual comparison
  10. Structure export and annotation inventory attached (pdf.js)
Can’t our staff do this in Acrobat?

Yes, if they have the time and know-how: Acrobat Pro can tag documents and add form fields, but doing it well takes careful manual work for each file. We’re for teams that would rather hand it off at a fixed price. The free check is yours to keep either way.

Why do prices vary so much between providers?

It depends on what’s included. Fully automated tools are the cheapest; expert manual remediation with hands-on assistive-technology testing costs the most. We’re in between: AI-assisted fixes, automated validation, and a word-for-word and visual check of every file, with a report that says what wasn’t tested. That’s why we show our price and our limits up front.

Does this make us compliant?

We do not certify ADA or Section 504 compliance, or full WCAG conformance. Each report identifies the checks performed and their limitations.

Privacy

We use the details you send through the form or by email only to reply and provide the service. Our email, hosting, payment and AI providers process them as needed to do the work, and our server keeps basic logs of page visits. We don’t use tracking cookies, and we don’t sell your information. Please send blank documents only, never patient or personal information.

Who is behind Birch Page?

Birch Page is a small independent business run by [Owner name] in [City, State]. The fixes are made with AI and automated tools, and every file is checked against the checklist in its report. We’re not a certification body or a team of accessibility specialists, and we say exactly what was and wasn’t tested.

Can we pay by purchasing card or invoice?

Usually. We can send an invoice and complete standard vendor forms; card payment is available once your quote is accepted. Purchase orders with extra terms (insurance, indemnity, security) are reviewed before we accept them.
