Explore the latest updates, insights, and innovations in document accessibility with our PREP Quarterly Newsletter – April Edition. This edition covers newly released PREP features, key insights from our recent blogs, and a case study that illustrates how organizations are overcoming accessibility challenges at scale. Let’s get started!
LMS Integration
PREP integrates seamlessly with your LMS, allowing instructors to remediate course documents directly within the platform. Files can be auto-tagged and checked for accessibility with just a few clicks—no manual uploads needed. Once complete, the accessible document is instantly returned to your LMS folder, ready for all learners.
With Canvas being one of the most widely used LMS platforms in higher education, PREP’s direct integration ensures accessibility efforts align with faculty workflows. Instructors can access PREP from within Canvas, select course files, and remediate them without ever leaving the platform. This saves time and encourages more consistent and widespread adoption of accessibility practices across departments.

According to a survey by the University of Melbourne, only 12.9% of respondents found PDF files to be accessible.

EU Accessibility Act 2025: Don’t Overlook Your Digital Documents
With just two months left until the European Accessibility Act (EAA) takes effect on 28 June 2025, many businesses remain underprepared, especially when it comes to digital documents. While the Act mandates that all digital products and services, including websites and content, be accessible to people with disabilities, only 25% of European businesses say they’re fully ready.
This is concerning, as inaccessible digital documents—like PDFs, forms, and online guides—can block access to essential information. Ensuring these documents meet accessibility standards isn’t just about legal compliance; it’s about making digital experiences usable for the 87 million Europeans with disabilities.
