Fruition PDF Accessibility
Fruition PDF Accessibility is a web and API service for remediating PDF structure and adding AI-based content tags. Upload a valid PDF or submit it through the REST API, which accepts up to 100 pages per request and returns a remediated file. Structural remediation sets metadata, marks the PDF as tagged, adds a PDF/UA-1 identifier, sets tab order, builds structure and parent trees, checks page resources, and generates bookmarks. AI analysis identifies headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables, adds semantic tags and image alt text, and analyzes color contrast. The service targets WCAG 2.2 AA, PDF/UA-1, Section 508, and ADA compliance. Structural work is listed at under 2 seconds per document; AI content tagging takes 30–60 seconds. The free plan is free for 10 pages per month with basic structural remediation. Basic is $0.50, paid once after the monthly free pages; Full AI is $2, paid once and includes structural fixes and AI features.
