This software is the only comprehensive accessibility solution that integrates with an organisation's existing document management system to capture high volume print streams and automatically remediate them into properly tagged, accessible documents, said a press release.

Actuate's patented PDF Accessibility Solution provides a robust design environment that enables organisations to create specific tagging rules for interpreting and transforming high volume content into accessible PDF documents. Once the rules have been stored, the entire tagging and transformation process becomes completely automated.

Actuate's PDF Accessibility Solution is particularly valuable for organisations that routinely dispense high-volume transaction output, such as bank statements, insurance policies, explanation of benefits documents, and utilities bills.

For instance, banks can benefit from this solution by using it to automatically deliver accessible statements to their visually impaired customers, eliminating the need to perform time consuming and costly manual remediation each month.

In addition, the PDF Accessibility Solution offers document creation, storage and delivery capabilities of high-volume, accessible content. This ensures readily available customer account information, allowing those with vision loss or blindness to independently and accurately manage their affairs at any time, without relying on sighted assistance.
