Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a PDF is accessible?

Upload the PDF and click Check Accessibility. The tool checks the document title, language, tagged structure, bookmarks outline, and whether pages contain readable text, then gives a score.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Checking happens entirely in your browser with an open-source PDF library — your file never leaves your device.

What makes a PDF accessible?

A document title, a set language, a tagged structure for screen readers, bookmarks for navigation, and real text (not just scanned images) on every page.

My PDF is a scan with no text — what should I do?

Run it through OCR first (our free image-to-text approach can help for single pages) or re-export it from the original document so it contains real text.

Does a high score here mean full WCAG compliance?

Not fully. This checks the document-level signals that matter most. Complete validation — reading order, image alt text, table headers — still needs a desktop checker like Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Can I check many PDFs at once?

One file at a time for now — check each PDF and keep the downloaded text report with your publishing records.
