Birgit Garn

I am CEO of barrierefrei PDF OG in Austria. I have worked in the field of accessible PDFs since 2023. Alongside a degree in computer science, I have a pedagogical background and many years of practical experience in both areas. Making information accessible to as many people as possible is both a professional and a personal priority.

barrierefrei PDF OG supports organisations in producing accessible communication across the document lifecycle: we create accessible documents from InDesign, Word and PowerPoint, remediate existing PDFs, and help teams establish sustainable accessibility processes and quality standards. A key part of our work is training—especially for graphic designers and content creators in ministries, large organisations and small businesses—so accessibility becomes a practical, embedded capability rather than a one-off project step.
