Fruition PDF Accessibility
Denver, Colorado, United States
What it is
Fruition PDF Accessibility is a web and API service that repairs PDF structure and adds AI-assisted content tagging. A valid PDF can be uploaded or sent to the REST API, which returns a remediated document. Structural work sets metadata, marks the file as tagged, adds a PDF/UA-1 identifier, sets tab order, creates structure and parent trees, ensures page resources, and generates bookmarks. AI analysis identifies headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables, creates semantic structure, adds image alt text, and analyzes color contrast. Image alt text uses GPT-4o with Claude fallback, while the production workflow says Claude Sonnet analyzes content semantics. The service targets WCAG 2.2 AA, PDF/UA-1, Section 508, and ADA compliance. Structural remediation is listed at under 2 seconds per document; AI tagging takes 30–60 seconds. API requests accept up to 100 pages and use X-API-Key authentication. The free plan is free for 10 pages per month; paid options are $0.50, paid once for Basic and $2, paid once for Full AI.
