Accessible PDFs
Since the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) came into force, preparing your print documents for accessibility has become an obligation rather than merely a recommendation.
I help you make your digital publications legally compliant and accessible. I create accessible PDFs to the PDF/UA standard from your InDesign files. I ensure a correct tag structure, check the reading order, verify the links, create bookmarks and add the supplied alternative texts to images – for legal certainty and genuine accessibility.

My contribution to a successful collaboration
Your project will impress
Beautiful design, clean layout, fast delivery. From the very first pixel to the final stop. That is what I can offer you.
With my wide range of services and my independent approach to work, I can assure you that your assignments will be carried out with the greatest care. In my many years of professional experience, I have learnt that details are not trivial matters, but are crucial to achieving a high-quality result. I therefore handle every project carefully and efficiently. Even when faced with complex tasks, I always remain clear, focused and, above all, solution-oriented.
FAQ
Why should I work with János Theil?
Looking for a partner for BFSG-compliant, accessible PDFs from InDesign who doesn't just execute but also thinks ahead? Thanks to my experience with MadeToTag, correct tagging and PAC testing, I bring everything needed to make your documents standards-compliant and accessible.
What happens at the first contact and what comes next?
Getting started is simple: a short message or a phone call is all it takes. Together we discuss your project and clarify the goals, the framework and the schedule. I then prepare a transparent quote. And your project is on track – heading for the finish line.
What does a typical project look like?
After a thorough briefing, I analyse your document and make it accessible step by step. I pay attention to a logical reading order, correct tagging, alternative texts for images and graphics and a successful PAC test. I keep you informed throughout the entire process and deliver BFSG-compliant PDF/UA documents on time.
Roughly what costs can I expect?
The cost of accessible PDFs depends on the number of pages, the complexity of the content (tables, charts, forms) and the source material. As a rule, I offer a transparent price per page. Once we have clarified the requirements together, you receive a detailed estimate with no hidden items or nasty surprises.
How long will it take to complete my project?
I know how important deadlines and print files are. That's why I always work in a focused, efficient way with the schedule in mind. What I don't do, however, is sacrifice quality for speed. Even under pressure, my work remains accurate and precise down to the last detail.
How easy is it to reach János Theil with questions?
Throughout the entire project I am reliably and easily reachable. That way you always keep the overview and clarity. And if something comes up at short notice, a direct line makes many things easier. The result is not only a good outcome but also a pleasant collaboration.
How discreetly is confidential data handled?
A good designer can do many things – including keeping quiet. I consider discretion in handling confidential information and documents – for example annual reports or sensitive projects that have not yet been published – an integral part of my work and of my understanding of myself as a professional.
Are you ready to bring your project to life?
Tell me about your project. I look forward to hearing from you.
