Empowering Institutions with Transformations from PDF to Accessible SmartHTML

Educational institutions and state and local governments are working to make digital content more accessible while managing large volumes of legacy PDF documents. Rebuilding content from source files is often costly and time-consuming.

Continual Engine’s SmartHTML solution supports educational institutions and state and local governments in generating responsive, accessible HTML experiences from existing PDF documents at scale. Designed to complement, not replace, accessible PDF workflows, SmartHTML extends the value of existing PDF content by providing an additional accessible format for web-based delivery without requiring large-scale content reconstruction.

Organizations today deliver content in multiple formats, including PDF, HTML, and EPUB. SmartHTML gives them greater flexibility to deliver accessible content across formats while preserving the role of PDFs in existing document workflows.

Continual Engine works with leading educational institutions and state and local government organizations, including University of Mary Washington, Virginia Tech, George Mason University, Minneapolis College, Saguache County Government, Maricopa County, Rio Blanco County, and others, to support large-scale accessibility and content transformation initiatives.

“Organizations have years of valuable content in PDFs, but making that content accessible shouldn’t require starting from scratch,” said Mousumi Kapoor, CEO of Continual Engine. “Our goal is to help them extend access to legacy content while making it easier to deliver the right experience across digital channels.”
