PDF ACCESSIBILITY & TAGGING

Understand your PDF.Improve its accessibility.

A11yRoo’s PDF auditor combines AI and rule-based checks to analyze your PDF’s content, layout, and reading order. Review its proposed document structure, then create a tagged PDF that helps assistive technology follow the intended reading order.

Early access is free after account approval, with administrator-set AI allowances. One A11yRoo account works with PDF Auditor and PDF Editor.

ASSESS THE EVIDENCE

Know what needs attention

Curious. Persistent. Always investigating.

SECURITY AND PRIVACY

A clear path. Protection along the way.

From your upload to AI analysis and saved results, here is where your document goes.

  1. Your browser

    Upload through an encrypted connection

    HTTPS uses TLS encryption between your browser and the application. You choose the PDF to upload.

  2. Google Cloud Run

    Process the PDF in the cloud

    The PDF service prepares text, structure evidence, and page images for analysis. Protected processing requests require application authorization.

  3. OpenAI API · Auditor

    Analyze evidence with AI

    The auditor sends text, structure evidence, and rendered page images to OpenAI. API data is not used for training by default, unless the API account owner opts in. Standard provider retention still applies. OpenAI API data policy .

  4. Cloudflare R2

    Save in your account. Keep control.

    Saved PDF files are encrypted at rest with AES-256. The server checks the signed-in account before allowing access to a saved project. Cloudflare encryption .

02

What the auditor does

It examines what appears on each page and how the PDF is organized behind the scenes. It uses that evidence to assess headings, lists, tables, and images. When more than one interpretation is plausible, it records its best-supported choice for review.

How the technology works →

03

What you review

The report highlights decisions and behavior that still need a person’s judgment, including reading order, image descriptions, and how the PDF works with assistive technology. Automated checks alone cannot establish complete accessibility.
