Key challenges for education

PDF accessibility requirements

Federal law requires educational materials to be accessible to students with disabilities. Most PDFs lack proper tags, alt text, and heading structure.

Document format compatibility

Students and faculty use different platforms. Course materials need to be available in PDF, Word, and image formats for universal access.

High-volume document processing

Departments process thousands of transcripts, applications, syllabi, and research papers each semester. Manual handling is unsustainable.

Form creation for enrollment and feedback

Registration forms, course evaluations, and accommodation requests need to be created, distributed, and collected efficiently.
