PDF Remediation

See the difference accessibility makes.

Historical government PDFs and their processed outputs. These legacy records do not link validation dates, validator versions, or machine reports. They are examples to inspect, not evidence of legal compliance or a current success rate.

Separate Human Review

Quick Fix

Attempts metadata and selected structural repairs. Remaining failures require further review.

PDF Agent

Can propose structural repairs and alternative text for complex content. Check the resulting content and machine evidence; human review remains necessary.

OCR Remediate

Attempts text extraction from scanned pages and adds a text layer. OCR accuracy and reading order need review.

Validation and review

Inspect the output and the evidence

Machine validation checks a defined profile. It cannot decide every content question, including whether alternative text is useful or reading order makes sense. Keep the report, inspect the artifact, and arrange appropriate human review before publication.
