Accessible by Default
Generate PDFs designed around PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1), with tagged structure and reading order built in, so you publish one accessible document for every customer.
The challenge
Most insurance documents are produced in Word, exported to PDF, and assumed to be “good enough.” In practice, layout hacks, multi-column tables, and image-heavy formatting often produce documents that screen readers struggle with and assistive technology users find confusing.
Accessibility is frequently treated as a separate workflow, an extra version for “those customers”, rather than a property of every document you publish. That approach is slow, easy to forget, and increasingly hard to defend when a customer cannot access the information they need to make a decision.
Why it matters
Customers with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or other accessibility needs have the same right to clear product information as everyone else. Regulators and public scrutiny on inclusive communications are growing, not shrinking.
Documents that work visually but fail structurally create conduct risk and exclude customers from making informed decisions. It is also bad business. You lose trust with audiences who cannot access your content.
How Ultradoc helps
Accessible PDFs are not a matter of looking right on screen. PDF/UA (formally ISO 14289-1) is the international standard for universally accessible PDF documents. It defines how tagged structure, logical reading order, headings, tables, and alt text must be represented so assistive technologies can interpret the file correctly, not just display it.
Ultradoc generates documents with that foundation built in from the start:
- PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1) foundations: tagged structure and semantic markup designed for screen readers and assistive technology
- Reading order that matches meaning, not just visual layout
- No separate accessibility version: one document serves all customers
- Template-level standards so your team focuses on content accuracy, not markup fixes
Our templates were built with accessibility as a foundation, not an afterthought. The opposite of wrestling Word into something a screen reader can parse. Your team still owns the content; the structure is handled for them.
The efficiency gain
Teams stop maintaining parallel accessible versions and stop paying designers to fix broken PDF exports. Every document you publish is inclusive by default.
That saves production time and reduces compliance risk. Customers get the same information whether they read it on screen, print it, or use assistive technology to consume it.
