Hi all,
I help maintain a large site with thousands of pdfs. In the past few months, we have only been posting ADA compliant PDFs. Since we don't create the majority of these (most are created by third party designers using In-Design), we rely on software (CommonLook) to remediate these documents. This process is really complicated and time-consuming. Lately our vendors have been providing us with compiant pdfs but we are still required to vet each document page-by-page.We are required to have a Commonlook generated MHT file for each pdf that shows the document has been run through Commonlook and meets all checkpoints.
My coworker and I were wondering if it would be less work-intensive (and more screen-reader friendly) to create ADA compliant HTML from these PDFs somehow. I have looked at some tools that convert PDFs to HTML and so far none are very helpful. It would be ideal to find a product (or features of Acrobat X) that converts these publications into ADA compliant html pages.
Is this a viable strategy? Are there better ways to approach this problem? Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks!
