Frequently Asked Questions
- What is WCAG?
- WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are international standards for accessibility, ensuring digital content is accessible to everyone.
- Who needs WCAG-compliant PDF files?
- Public authorities and organizations are legally required to make their documents accessible. It also benefits all users.
- What is PDF/UA and how does it relate to WCAG?
- PDF/UA (ISO 14289) is the technical standard for accessible PDFs — the document-specific way to meet WCAG. The tool tags structure, adds alternative text and fixes reading order so the file conforms to PDF/UA.
- Do your PDFs pass PAC?
- PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) is the recognized gold standard for verifying PDF/UA. Our output is built to pass PAC — download the result and check it in PAC yourself.
- How do I make an existing PDF accessible?
- Upload the PDF, review the issues found, add alternative text and fix structure in the wizard, then download the accessible PDF. Most of it is automatic.
- What if a document can't be fixed 100% automatically?
- For complex documents you can generate a guaranteed-accessible version where each page gets an OCR text layer — so the file always passes PDF/UA.
- Is the WCAG test free?
- Yes, you can test and make your PDFs accessible for free on PDF.dk.
