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:

• axesPDF




• PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC)




• axesCheck (web-based)

axesSense allows you to automate
the whole checking/validation process and
check many documents at once:

• Automate the testing process

With axesSense, 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.



• Machine-readable test results

The output of axesSense 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

axesSense 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

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! axesSense 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 adequately reflect
the core message of an image.
