PDF Auto Tag Remediation benefits
In the U.S., accessibility laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 mandate that all digital content, including PDFs, be accessible to individuals with disabilities. These laws reference the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as the standard for compliance. By ensuring PDF accessibility, you not only meet these legal requirements but also create an inclusive experience for all users.
For specific regulations in your region, consult a legal expert on digital accessibility requirements.
Users with disabilities want to read and engage with your content just like everyone else. Making your PDF documents accessible for all is a societal as well as a business interest so no one is left behind due to unnecessary barriers. With today’s AI technology, these digital barriers can be easily removed. Coupled with regulatory requirements, improving the readability of your PDFs benefits all.
Manually tagging PDFs can be a time-consuming and challenging task, particularly for documents with complex layouts, multiple columns, and tables. EqualWeb’s auto-tagging tool simplifies and scales your PDF accessibility remediation process, making it easy for website owners, developers, and designers to create accessible documents efficiently. This powerful solution saves you time, effort, and valuable resources, allowing you to meet accessibility standards without the hassle of manual tagging.
EqualWeb’s PDF Auto AI Remediation tool is an AI-powered solution that enhances PDF accessibility by accurately tagging PDF elements like headings, reading order, lists, links, references, and tables. These tags enable assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to navigate and interpret the document, ensuring a fully accessible experience.
Tagging organizes PDF content with identifiable structure elements—such as headings, tables, lists, and paragraphs—allowing for proper reading order and layout. This structured tagging also supports resizing and reflowing on larger screens or mobile devices, improving accessibility and readability.
Each paragraph is tagged with language identification, enhancing understanding and content flow. EqualWeb’s solution meets international accessibility standards, including Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 guidelines, making your PDFs accessible and compliant with key regulations.

Generate report
The PDF Auto AI Remediation tool issues an auditory report that details the remediation process and added and removed tags, as well as persisting issues that require additional review. This report will serve as a guide for you on how to fix accessibility errors and a statement of your remediation effort.
The auto-tagging system recognizes a title (if available) and incorporates it as an extra heading level 1 (H1). If you aim for greater alignment with WCAG 2.2 HTML accessibility standards when a title is detected, it is designated as an H1, and all other headings within the document can be adjusted down by one level (e.g., H1 becomes H2). This setting is initially set to "false" (no adjustment).
How does it work?
Step 1
Upload your PDFs.
Step 2
The Auto Tag tool runs the remediation process. Wait for the documents to be ready in a matter of minutes.
Step 3
Download your accessible PDFs as well as a generated report detailing the doc’s tags and any other issues.
