Publishers today are expected to do more with their content than ever before. A single article or edition is no longer published in one format or on one platform. It must work across print replicas, PDFs, websites, mobile apps, EPUBs, and assistive technologies, all while meeting accessibility requirements and tight production timelines.
For newspapers and magazines, this creates a growing challenge. Content teams are not just publishing stories. They are managing complex, multi-channel workflows where accessibility, reuse, and consistency matter as much as speed.
This is exactly the challenge addressed by Webarch’s Multi-Channel Publishing for Newspapers and Magazines solution, which helps publishers distribute accessible content across formats without duplicating effort or breaking workflows.
This guide looks at what accessible publishing at scale really means, why traditional workflows struggle, and how publishers are evolving their processes to meet modern accessibility and distribution demands.
In today’s digitally driven world, PDFs remain one of the most widely shared document formats, from annual reports and eBooks to policies, forms, and educational materials. Yet despite their popularity, a large percentage of PDFs are still inaccessible to people with disabilities.
For organizations under increasing accessibility and compliance pressure, including publishers, public institutions, and educational organizations, this is no longer just a technical concern. It is a legal, operational, and ethical issue that directly affects how information is accessed and consumed.
We often see this with organizations operating at scale. Content is created quickly, distributed widely, and archived for years, while accessibility is addressed late, inconsistently, or only when audits arise. As a result, teams are left reacting to compliance demands instead of managing accessibility proactively.
In this guide, we explain what PDF remediation actually means, why accessible PDFs matter, and how the remediation process works step by step. We also explore common challenges organizations face at scale, what successful organizations do differently, and how accessibility can be managed as an ongoing process rather than a one time fix.
From October 15–17, 2025, Webarch will be present at the Frankfurt Book Fair to meet publishers, organizations, and industry colleagues who want to make their content accessible, structured, and future-ready.
