Audit any PDF in seconds

Upload the document to EqualWeb's PDF Accessibility Checker. It audits the file across 7 categories - Document, Page Content, Forms, Alternate Text, Tables, Lists and Headings - and returns a 0-100 accessibility score. Each rule is marked Passed, Needs Review or Failed, so you can see exactly where the document stands before deciding whether to fix it with AI or experts.

EqualWeb's PDF Accessibility Checker inspects the structures screen readers rely on: document language, title and tags, a logical tagged reading order, heading hierarchy, correctly marked-up lists, alternative text on every image, table header associations, and labeled form fields. It also flags items like color contrast for review, then rolls everything into a single 0-100 score you can share with your team.

Passed means the rule is satisfied. Needs Review means EqualWeb's AI could not fully verify the rule - items like logical reading order and color contrast - so a manual check is recommended. Failed means the rule is violated and the document needs fixing. The report totals each status per category, so you know how many issues were resolved and how many still need attention.

Yes. EqualWeb's PDF Accessibility Checker reads every image in the document and generates a suggested alternative text description for each one. The report lists each image with its page number and the AI-written description, and you can review, edit and apply the suggestions instead of writing alt text from scratch. Missing alt text is the most common PDF accessibility failure.

No. The Checker is an audit-only tool: it reports issues and scores the document without changing the file. To apply fixes, pair it with EqualWeb's AI Auto-Remediation, which tags headings, tables, alt text and reading order automatically, or with Expert Manual Remediation for complex documents. A Checker report also ships with every remediation, so you get a before and after comparison.
