Marketing infographic for “barrierefrAI PDF Pro” with the headline “Accessible PDFs. Automatic. AI-powered.” The graphic explains that the tool creates WCAG-compliant and PDF/UA-certified documents in minutes. It compares common PDF accessibility problems, such as missing alt text, unrecognizable nested tables, missing screen reader structure, and inaccessible tourism content, with proposed solutions including detailed alt text, structured tables, semantic HTML for screen readers, and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Additional feature boxes highlight time savings of up to 95 percent, intelligent structuring, automated image descriptions, legal compliance, data protection, maximum flexibility, and batch processing for large document volumes.

Workflow

How PDF Pro works

A compact one-line overview — from step 3 the path branches, depending on whether your PDF already has tags.

01 Your PDF: select and upload
02 PDF Pro: identifies status and page count
03 If already tagged: structure is repaired directly on the original
04 Otherwise: AI creates structured HTML
05 Both paths: image descriptions, tables, alt text and reading order added automatically
06 HTML path only: upload as a PDF/UA text version
07 Result: repaired original or newly merged hybrid PDF — both PDF/UA and PDF/A-2a compliant
08 Documentation: accessibility verification

Core areas

PDF Pro brings structure, review and delivery together

The homepage now focuses on what PDF Pro does today: build a reliable, PDF/UA- and PDF/A-2a-compliant structure, handle charts and tables cleanly, and improve already-tagged documents without rebuilding them from scratch. The AI-based image analysis runs once and feeds both paths equally.

Structure and tags

  • PDF/UA-compliant tag structure
  • Headings, lists and captions
  • Tables with header cells and cell mapping
  • Bookmarks, language and artifacts
  • HTML alternative version

Graphics and layouts

  • Images with real alt text
  • Charts with data tables as fallback
  • Complex multi-column layouts
  • Reading order and visual logic
  • Checks for common document patterns

Existing PDFs

  • Existing structure stays intact
  • Missing elements are filled in
  • Images get the same AI-generated descriptions as on the HTML path
  • Useful for already tagged PDFs
  • Targeted improvement instead of rebuilds
  • Reviewable output for delivery
Quality and review

Technical validation plus plausibility

PDF Pro checks more than formal PDF/UA compliance. We also look at whether the accessible output matches the visible document: reading order, tables, images, links and complex layouts.

Reading order

Multi-column pages and sequences are checked for plausibility.

Tables

Header cells, scope and mapping are considered deliberately.

Images and charts

Alt text and chart fallbacks are checked for practical use.

Validation

Validated with veraPDF, PAC and Acrobat as pragmatic checks.

The layout stays visually intact. For particularly complex or sensitive documents, an additional manual final review is advisable.
Sensitive projects

For sensitive and complex documents

Public documents can start right away. For internal, sensitive or heavily regulated collections, we design the processing path more deliberately.

Privacy-aware processing

For customers with strict privacy requirements, private or isolated operating models are available.

  • Local or dedicated operation
  • Private infrastructure instead of standard cloud
  • Aligned review and release steps

Enterprise and large volumes

For large document sets, custom integrations and recurring workflows, we build the process around your environment.

  • Bulk processing
  • API or team workflows
  • Individual consulting for complex PDFs
Transparency
