EqualWeb PDF Tools
EqualWeb PDF Tools combines PDF accessibility checking, automated remediation, expert manual remediation, and an accessible in-browser viewer. Its checker performs more than 80 automated checks across eight categories and returns a score from 0 to 100 with a detailed report. AI remediation can address document structure, reading order, alternative text, tables, forms, fonts, text encoding, contrast, language, and metadata. Scanned PDFs can receive OCR and remediation, up to 400 pages. Batch processing supports up to 1,000 PDFs; individual files can be as large as 400 pages and 100 MB, though larger files may be uploaded and flagged during an audit. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can be converted to accessible PDF or HTML, and PDFs to accessible HTML. The product says it remediates and validates against WCAG 2.2, PDF/UA-1 and PDF/UA-2, Section 508, and EN 301 549. A REST API handles uploads, audits, reports, remediation, downloads, and batches, with access requested from EqualWeb. Auto AI Tag is optimized for English and Latin-script documents.
