riverdocs_conversion_example_1 RiverDocs has released a product that converts PDF files to HTML, enabling organizations to comply with accessibility laws and make web content more searchable.

“There are a billion PDF files on the web,” said RiverDocs commercial director Fergus Brady. “But PDF is fundamentally designed for print consumption. Onscreen, it doesn’t meet any of the usability criteria.”

Brady said screen readers used by the blind and visually impaired could not easily read PDFs, so organizations with PDF documents on their website could be breaking the law that services must be equally available to disabled and able-bodied people.

HTML documents also have the advantage of being readable on any device. “More and more employees are working on the move, and the only way they access the internet is through a PDA or a smartphone,” said Brady.

He added that the three to five days needed to manually convert a 100-page PDF into HTML shrank to two hours with the RiverDocs product.
