Is Your Organization Ready for AODA Compliance? Here’s How to Make Your PDFs Accessible. Without the Headache.
As digital information continues to grow, so does the responsibility to ensure it’s accessible to all. In Ontario, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets out clear standards for accessibility, including document-based compliance for organizations across sectors.
But let’s be honest, manual PDF remediation is time-consuming, technical, and costly. That’s where Accessibility on Demand (AoD) comes in.
What is Accessibility on Demand (AoD)?
Accessibility on Demand (AoD) is Polar Imaging’s newest service — a fully automated solution that turns inaccessible PDFs into AODA-, ACA-, WCAG 2.1- and PDF/UA-compliant documents, without the manual work.
Think:
✅ 95%+ compliance through automation
✅ No need for internal tagging or tech expertise
✅ Starts at just 30¢ per page
✅ Scalable across departments
Whether you’re a municipality, school board, hospital, or non-profit, AoD makes PDF accessibility effortless and affordable.
Why PDF Accessibility Matters
Under AODA and the Accessible Canada Act (ACA), organizations are required to make their public-facing content accessible. This includes PDFs on websites, newsletters, forms, agendas, and reports.
Industries impacted include:
- Municipal and provincial governments
- School boards and post-secondary institutions
- Hospitals and health networks
- Non-profits and community agencies
- Financial and insurance services
- Utilities and telecom
If your organization shares PDFs with the public, this applies to you.
What Happens If You’re Not Compliant?
Failure to comply with AODA could lead to:
- Fines of up to $100,000/day for organizations
- Reputational damage if public complaints arise
- Barriers to funding and partnerships
The good news? AoD is designed to help you get ahead of this, with minimal lift and maximum impact.
