Accessible Online Document
DocRevolution Makes Accessibility Easy
DocRevolution is designed with a vision that extends beyond internal business processes - we are also guided by the needs of our clients’ end users. These are the people who actually use and rely on your information every day. With DocRevolution, you can easily publish your documents in a digitally accessible format, ensuring information is available to everyone.
In addition to publishing documents in PDF format, DocRevolution offers the option to generate an accessible HTML version. This Accessible Online Document complies with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), ensuring that people with disabilities can access the information without barriers. The PDF and HTML versions are linked to each other, providing a seamless experience. By choosing an HTML publication format, you also avoid common obstacles associated with PDFs, such as navigation difficulties and limited readability on mobile devices.
Our HTML document version, such as terms and conditions, is static - meaning the content remains fixed after publication. This ensures that users always see the same version. Each publication is assigned a version number and date, maintaining consistency and preventing confusion. The HTML version serves as a reliable reference, just like the PDF.
DocRevolution empowers content managers to make documents accessible without requiring deep technical expertise. Our built-in features ensure that documents are published in an accessible format by default. With just one click, you generate both a PDF and an HTML version, with the HTML version automatically meeting accessibility standards. This eliminates the complexity and time-consuming process of making PDFs accessible, significantly simplifying content management.
Publishing in HTML offers significant advantages in terms of accessibility, usability, and user experience. Here are the key benefits:
HTML documents are inherently more accessible for people with disabilities. They work seamlessly with screen readers and assistive technologies due to their structured format.
There are more advanced tools for accessibility testing and validation in HTML than for PDFs, ensuring consistent accessibility compliance.
HTML makes it easier to meet WCAG standards, as key accessibility features—such as alternative text and semantic structures—are natively built into the format.
HTML automatically adapts to different screen sizes, whether on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. This ensures that users have the same reading experience, regardless of the device they use.
Unlike PDFs, which often require users to zoom in and out or scroll horizontally, HTML dynamically adjusts content for optimal readability and navigation on any device
HTML supports clickable headings, internal links, and other interactive elements, allowing users to navigate content more efficiently.
Changes in HTML can be implemented and published instantly without complex editing processes, making it ideal for documentation that requires frequent updates.
HTML documents are more searchable - both by search engines and internal website search functions - helping users find information faster.
HTML documents can be automatically generated using tools like DocRevolution, ensuring both an accessible HTML and PDF version are quickly available with minimal effort. This is far less time-consuming than manually making a PDF accessible.
Unlike accessible PDFs, which require specialized expertise, HTML can be made accessible using standard web technologies that are widely known among designers and developers.
HTML documents open directly in a browser, eliminating the need for users to install or open separate programs, improving both accessibility and readability.
HTML files generally load faster than PDFs, especially on mobile devices, contributing to a smoother user experience.
As an open standard, HTML continuously evolves with advancements in web technologies, making it a future-proof format.
HTML provides access to cutting-edge innovations, including AI-powered search functions, interactive elements, and dynamic data visualization.
An independent accessibility audit has assessed the Accessible Online Document as highly accessible and user-friendly.
In a world where information must be quickly and digitally available, DocRevolution offers solutions that combine accessibility with reliability. The Accessible Online Document and Document Integrity Guard work together to ensure information is both accessible to everyone and protected against modifications.
While the Accessible Online Document focuses on accessibility, DocRevolution’s Document Integrity Guard ensures that digital documents remain unchanged and verifiable in their original form. With each publication, a unique document hash is generated and registered on the blockchain. Through periodic integrity checks, the Document Integrity Guard verifies that the content of the Accessible Online Document remains exactly as intended. It automatically ensures that the information behind the URL has not been altered.
