Automated PDF Checks

  • Are tags present in the document?
  • Is a primary language defined?
  • Do images have alt text attributes?
  • Does the document have a title?

Manual PDF Checks

  • Is the reading order logical?
  • Is the alt text actually descriptive?
  • Are complex tables tagged correctly?
  • Is color contrast sufficient?

What this tool checks

Our automated tool checks PDF documents for tags, primary language, alt text on images, and structural elements required by PDF/UA and WCAG.

Limitations of automated PDF testing

Automated tools cannot verify if the reading order is logical, if alt text is actually descriptive, or if complex tables are tagged correctly. Manual review is necessary.
