How PDF remediation works

PDF remediation means rebuilding a PDF so assistive technology can use it. Upload a PDF, and Docability does it, then reports what it found and what it changed.

  1. Upload your PDF

    Drop in a PDF of up to 90 MB and 1000 pages. Scanned documents work, too.

  2. We rebuild it

    Docability reads the layout, then rebuilds the document with headings, a logical reading order, table structure, and image descriptions.

  3. Review the report

    See the issues identified in your document and the changes made. Review the rebuilt PDF before publishing it.

  4. Download the result

    Download your tagged PDF and a report of what we found in your original document and what changed.

What the rebuild does

  • Reading the layout and working out the structure of each page
  • Adding tags: headings, lists, tables and a reading order
  • Recognizing text on scanned pages
  • Describing images, or marking decorative ones so screen readers skip them
  • Setting the document title and language

What you still review

  • The report of what was found and what changed
  • Image descriptions, which are drafted automatically and should be checked for accuracy
  • The rebuilt PDF, before you publish it

Docability does not certify compliance or guarantee that a document meets a particular standard. Review each rebuilt PDF before you publish it.
