PDF accessibility for cities and counties.

A city or county website can hold tens of thousands of PDFs across dozens of departments. Paridoc gives every one of them an accessible HTML version with one script tag, before the April 26, 2027 ADA Title II deadline for places serving 50,000 people or more.

The scale problem

Every department posts documents: the clerk's agendas and minutes, finance's budgets and audits, planning's staff reports and environmental reviews, public works' bid documents, the sheriff's reports, permit forms from half a dozen offices. One California county's website we looked at links to more than 26,000 document addresses.

At $5 to $15 a page, manual remediation of a collection like that runs well into six figures, before the next council meeting adds more. And a manual project needs someone to track which files went out, which came back and which were replaced in the meantime.

How Paridoc handles it

• One script tag in your site template covers every page that uses it, across every department.
• Our crawler finds every document your pages link to, including files served by your agenda and records systems.
• A file linked from many pages is converted once and counted once.
• New and changed documents are converted automatically, usually within minutes of being found.
• Your own domain, if you want it. Serve the viewer and documents from an address like accessible.youragency.gov with one DNS record.
• Flag a problem and we fix it, with every fix recorded: evidence of an ongoing program.

What it costs

Paridoc is $0.30 to $0.45 per page per year, with the rate depending on volume. For 20,000 pages that's $6,000 to $9,000 a year, against $100,000 to $300,000 to remediate the same pages by hand once. Pricing · cost calculator.

Meeting documents

Agendas and packets are the one collection that grows every week, and no exception in the Title II rule covers new ones. How Paridoc handles meeting documents.

Questions

Can Paridoc cover more than one website?

Yes. Many cities and counties run separate sites for departments, libraries or public safety. Paridoc can cover all of them.

What about documents in our agenda or records system?

Paridoc works from the links on your pages, so a PDF your agenda or records system publishes and your site links to is covered like any other.

When do cities and counties have to comply?

April 26, 2027 if the total population is 50,000 or more; April 26, 2028 if it is smaller.
