Accessible PDFs, Intelligently Tagged

An accessible PDF is designed to work with assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice-control tools used by people with disabilities. Accessible PDFs include semantic tags and a logical structure so assistive technologies can navigate headings, lists, tables, links, and form fields in the correct reading order. They also provide text alternatives for meaningful images and other non-text content.

That's what we're built for. Every document we return is structured so assistive technology can present content in the correct reading order, with headings, lists, tables, and image descriptions announced clearly. We run a validation check on every output and surface any issues before returning it to you — so you can see exactly where things stand and where manual review may still help.

Yes. If you upload a scanned or image-only PDF — a document that's really a picture of a page, with no selectable text — we detect it at upload and offer to recover the text with OCR before tagging. Once the text is recovered, the scan is tagged like any other document, with headings, lists, and tables in the correct reading order. Because OCR is machine reading, we flag any pages where the scan was unclear so you can verify them against the original. One note: recovering a scanned form makes it readable, not fillable — an interactive form still has to be rebuilt where it was originally created.

You get a remediated PDF rebuilt with the correct semantic structure, reading order, and image descriptions — plus a full accessibility coverage report. The report checks your document against every condition of the PDF/UA standard, and shows a before/after of the machine-checkable issues that were resolved alongside anything that still needs your review. You can read it in your dashboard and download it as its own tagged PDF, so you always have a record of where things stand.

Manual remediation in Acrobat means tagging every element by hand — a process that requires deep accessibility expertise and can take hours on a complex document. We take care of this time-consuming process by incorporating automated fixes on the structural and technical requirements of an accessible PDF, and by harnessing AI to analyze your document for its full context in order to build the correct tagged structure and reading order. For organizations with more than a handful of documents, the difference in time and consistency is significant.

PDF/UA-1 has two categories of requirements: technical rules (does the structure exist, are annotations tagged, do images have alt text attributes) and contextual ones (is the reading order logically correct, are headings semantically accurate, do image descriptions actually describe the content). Our AI-powered pipeline handles the contextual side — analyzing the document to determine correct structure, reading order, and meaningful descriptions. veraPDF, the open-source validator jointly developed by the PDF Association and the Open Preservation Foundation, handles the structural/technical checks — and we use its output to drive fixes, not just report results. Every project surfaces a before/after comparison so you can see exactly which machine-checkable issues were resolved and any that remain.

Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Uploaded documents are processed and then automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours — we don't retain them beyond what's needed to return your output. Your tagged PDF and its accessibility report stay available to download for 30 days, then are deleted automatically. We don't use your documents to train AI models or share them with third parties.
