What our customers say

★★★★★

“We had over 12,000 legacy PDFs that needed to be compliant before the April 2026 deadline. RemeDocs processed our entire backlog in under a week — we passed our audit with zero corrective action items. Our previous vendor was quoting us 8 months and triple the cost.”

★★★★★

“We were manually tagging PDFs with Adobe Acrobat — it took our team 2–3 hours per document. RemeDocs does it in seconds and the output consistently passes PAC 2024 validation. It’s not even close.”

Director of Digital Accessibility
Public Research University
★★★★★

“As a regional hospital system, every patient-facing document has to be accessible. RemeDocs let us integrate remediation directly into our publishing workflow — compliance is now automatic, not an afterthought.”

VP of Compliance
Regional Health System
★★★★★

“We evaluated CommonLook, axesPDF, and a handful of manual remediation firms. RemeDocs was the only solution that could handle our volume — 500+ documents per month — without sacrificing quality or blowing our budget.”
