OBJECTIVE

Making 4,000 pages accessible against the clock

A UK creative agency was engaged by a leading high street bank to support a large-scale accessibility project involving hundreds of PDF documents.

The scope was significant:

  • Nearly 400 PDF documents
  • Approximately 4,000 pages
  • Complex document structures including forms, tables and detailed layouts
  • A fixed client deadline that was rapidly approaching


While the agency had secured the project as part of a broader strategic relationship with the bank, PDF accessibility remediation was not a core in-house capability.

Previous attempts to secure support elsewhere had failed, leaving the agency under pressure to find a solution quickly.

SOLUTION

Specialist PDF remediation at scale

The agency partnered with Recite Me to remediate the bank’s PDF estate at scale.

As questions arose around validation tools and compliance reporting, Recite Me’s product specialists worked directly with the agency to review documents, provide independent verification and ensure confidence in the final output.

Working closely with the agency team, Recite Me provided:

RESULTS

More than a successful delivery

The project successfully remediated almost 400 PDF documents, covering approximately 4,000 pages of content.

Most importantly, the agency was able to deliver the project within the client’s required timeframe and avoid missing a critical deadline.

The successful delivery also helped strengthen the agency’s relationship with the bank, leading to additional design and digital work beyond the original accessibility project.

Recite Me supported us on a large-scale, sensitive project with a tight deadline, and their team went above and beyond to help us get there, including turning around the accessible PDFs we needed finalised in time. Their responsiveness and support throughout made a genuinely challenging project far more manageable.

 

I didn’t think we were going to hit the deadline, and we more or less have.
