I don't understand what the problem is. There is no need to recreate the documents in any form, just tag them, change the structure and reading order, and go. Am I missing something?
Here is what I do. If it is a scanned image, you first have to run the OCR to convert it to text.
I go into properties and make sure I provide an appropriate description and also set the language to English. Next create any active url or mailto links.
After that I use my accessibility tools. First, I tag the document. Then I open up my reading order and restructure anything I need to, for instance, changing plain text to H2. Then I create alt text for images. After that, I make sure the reading order is correct.
It is somewhat simple after you've done a few. I DON'T recommend making all the changes in the original document, and saving it as PDF. I usually lose all or most of my original work.
I really don't see why you can't modify the original documents. Again, am I missing something? You will need Adobe Acrobat Professional.
