Real example: Structure complex PDFs for accessibility
See for yourself: From inaccessible PDFs with complex diagrams to structured, accessible HTML
Transformation in 8 minutes
95% time savings: From “Bad Belzig – The Thermal Brine Spa” became an accessibility-ready HTML output with precise image descriptions, table analyses and semantic headings.
Start now with your PDFs:
Layout and Text Version in One File
PDF/UA Hybrid combines the original visual layout with the accessible text version (PDF/UA) – one file for all audiences.
Visible Layer
The exact original layout – exactly as your document should look
Combined in 1 File
PAC-3 and veraPDF validated – ISO 14289-1 compliant
Invisible Layer
Complete PDF/UA structure – for screen readers and assistive technologies
Not only PDF/UA-compliant. Also semantically checked.
barrierefrAI does not only generate formally valid PDF/UA files. The processing also checks whether the accessible structure matches the visible document: reading order, tables, lists, links, image content and complex layouts.
Reading order
Multi-column documents, legal sub-items and visible reading sequences are checked for plausibility.
Tables & pseudo-tables
Real data tables, table-like layouts and tables embedded as raster images are handled differently.
Links, QR codes, status
Visible URLs, QR context, checkboxes, status chips and form-like areas remain understandable.
Beyond PAC
Technical validation is complemented by semantic stress tests that expose typical AI remediation errors.
6 AI Features that change everything
Our AI combines modern analysis with 81 customization options for different documents and audiences.
Processing Guarantee
We are confident in our AI. Should a result not meet your expectations – for example with incorrect text order or inappropriate image descriptions – we will manually review the result.

What used to take days can now be prepared in minutes. Accessibility becomes much more efficient.
