Use cases

Create accessible PDFs

Generate tagged PDF documents from scratch with proper structure that supports assistive technology access, enables content reflow on mobile devices, and improves machine readability.

Remediate existing PDFs

Bring existing PDFs up to accessibility standards by adding the required logical structure and metadata: a structure tree, element tags, language, and alt text.

Inspect a PDF’s structure

Read a tagged PDF’s structure tree and element tags programmatically to verify hierarchy and roles for accessibility audits, quality assurance, and structured content extraction.

Automate accessibility validation

Integrate standards-based checking into your document pipelines and batch-validate PDFs against PDF/UA, WCAG 2.1, and general quality checks.

Customize validation rules

Set pass/fail thresholds and filter or remap warnings to match your internal policy, and receive JSON or XML outputs grouped by standard and severity.
