Re: Average time to Remediate PDFs in bulk?

I have seen single page PDFs that were obviously 'scanned' versions of a
mailed informational flyer, all text is a 'picture' (not even OCR) inside
the PDF.

This type of thing would have to be completely redone in order to be ever
considered for accessibility...

My point? In a 'large batch' of documents, you may not know what you are
really getting into.

I would suggest setting up an hourly rate and a 'minimum' for the project...
Then rely on good communication with the client so that if there is an issue
with some of the PDFs, they know and can readjust their budgets.

Subject: [WebAIM] Average time to Remediate PDFs in bulk?

Does anyone recommend an average time (in hours) they use for remediating a
PDF?
I¹m trying to semi-accurately estimate an hourly effort for large batches of
documents.

It might be helpful to have an average time for simple, intermediate and
complex documents.
