EqualWeb PDF Tools
New York, New York, United States
What it is
EqualWeb PDF Tools combines PDF accessibility checking, AI remediation, expert manual remediation, and an accessible browser viewer. Its checker runs more than 80 automated checks across eight categories, then returns a 0-to-100 score with a detailed report. AI remediation can address document structure, reading order, alternative text, tables, forms, fonts, text encoding, contrast, language, and metadata. OCR and remediation are available for scanned PDFs up to 400 pages. Batches can contain up to 1,000 PDFs; individual files can be up to 400 pages and 100 MB, while larger files may be flagged during auditing. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can become accessible PDF or HTML, and PDFs can become accessible HTML. EqualWeb says the service remediates and validates against WCAG 2.2, PDF/UA-1, PDF/UA-2, Section 508, and EN 301 549. Integrations include major content, learning, productivity, and cloud-storage services. A REST API supports upload, auditing, reporting, remediation, downloads, and batch processing, with access requested from EqualWeb.
