It’s been a long road on this one, well over a year from start to finish. It speaks volumes to our commitment as a company to producing WCAG 2.0 AA compliant PDF’s in very high-volumes, and on a repeatable basis.
If you want to see the current accessible credit card sample, please click on this link.
The important piece to note is that many elements of the PDF can be changed, which is why we work so heavily with the AFB on testing and usability of our templates and outputs. Xenos Developer Studio lets you easily define sections, fields, read order, alternate text and deal with tables. It is very easy to go into a template and modify it to your liking.
Want to see more? We have 3 videos on Youtube which outline Xenos Axess:
Presentation:
Xenos Axess PDF Accessibility Solution
Demonstrations:
Xenos Axess – Product Demonstration – Part 1
Xenos Axess – Product Demonstration – Part 2
The presentation is a bit out-of-date now but, still mostly valid. It is a high-level description of what problems we solve. The product demonstrations (2 parts) are much more detailed, and show the power of developer studio in creating and maintaining these templates.
We are already in a number of cycles with various institutions, and am really looking forward to not only getting it implemented but, pulling in our friends at the AFB for usability testing and eventually, certification of a clients high-volume transactional output as accessible.
We are not done yet! We have some final testing with the various associations on-going, and still have some paperwork to do for our conformance claim (WCAG 2.0 AA). In the meantime, please do not hesitate to send feedback on the sample statement:
