    What makes axesPAC unique

    • Proven PDF/UA engine:
      • axesPAC is based on the validation mechanisms of PAC,
        the globally established standard for PDF accessibility testing


    • Automated, scalable workflows
      • Batch-process large numbers of PDFs
        automatically and all at once


    • Compliant with accessibility standards
      - PDF/UA and WCAG checks as API:
      • Just like with axesPDF, PAC or axesCheck:
        axesPAC covers all machine-verifiable
        PDF/UA and WCAG requirements


    • Seamless integration with existing systems or software:
      • axesPAC can be easily integrated into systems,
        platforms, or processes using the REST API


    • Clear, machine-readable results:
      • Get machine-readable results in JSON format
        that can be processed immediately


    • Save time and money
      • Drastically reduce the amount of
        manual testing and speed up your processes



    Disadvantages when not using axesPAC

    • You check PDFs, but you don't have a clear overview.

      • Quality depends on manual processes

      • There is a lack of transparency regarding all documents

axesPAC
Automatically check PDFs for accessibility
to comply with
ISO Standard 14289 (PDF/UA)
and
W3C/WCAG recommendations


    Check PDF accessibility in an
    automated and scalable way

    Checking/validation of PDFs for accessibility
    can be done one file at a time - for example with:


    But if it concerns large amounts of PDF files
    it will not work with manual handling
    - it will take an unreasonable amount of time
    and be very costly.

    Then automation is required instead - with axesPDF.
    axesPAC builds on the same trusted
    checking routines as PAC, but allows you to
    check large numbers of PDF documents
    automatically and at scale.

    Unlike PAC, axesPAC requires a
    license key (API Key) from axes4.


    axesPAC is available in two editions:


    axesPAC allows you to automate
    the whole checking/validation process and
    check large numbers of PDF documents at once:

    • Automate the testing process
    • With axesPAC, checking PDF files for
      PDF/UA and WCAG compliance literally runs itself.
      Check your PDF files from a folder structure or
      based on a specific trigger event.


    • Clear, machine-readable test results
    • The output of axesPAC in JSON format
      provides you with all results data in a
      machine-readable form.
      You can decide for yourself how you want
      to process and use the results data.


    • Save time and money
    • axesPAC saves you time twice:
      on the one hand, it relieves you of manual checking,
      and on the other hand, evaluations can be specifically
      aggregated, further processed, and even used again
      as input for other applications.


    • Scales arbitrarily in scalable workflows
    • Do you want to check a file every time you
      upload one to the website or do you want to
      test your PDFs for compliance directly as
      part of batch processes?
      No problem!
      axesPAC automatically scales with you.


    General note:

    For a final accessibility assessment, however,
    further checks are required that only a human
    can perform; for example, whether the sequence of
    elements is correct, the tags correspond to the visually
    recognizable semantics, or alternative texts adequatel
    reflect the core message of an image.
