About This Tool

The tool analyzes PDFs against recognized standards to identify accessibility and conformance gaps. It ingests one or more PDFs, applies a rule-based check suite for PDF/A, PDF/X, PDF/UA, tagging, fonts, color spaces, metadata, and security, and returns a structured report. Conceptually, it treats each standard as a collection of preflight rules that quantify compliance and surface remediation guidance. Beneficiaries include publishers seeking long-term preservation compliance, software engineers embedding PDF checks into pipelines, and QA teams validating production-ready files. A key differentiator is its alignment with ISO and industry best practices, enabling batch analyses and easy export of JSON or CSV results for automation and dashboards. Core features include file upload, selectable standards, per-rule outcomes, and exportable reports; advanced users can perform delta comparisons across runs and customize rule sets. Use cases span preflight validation for accessibility (PDF/UA), archival conformance (PDF/A), and print workflows (PDF/X).

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Which standards are checked by the tool?

The tool validates PDF/A (A/B/U), PDF/X (1a/3), PDF/UA for accessibility, along with checks for tagging, fonts, color spaces, metadata, and encryption. Results are categorized by rule and standard.

Can the tool process multiple files in a batch?

Yes. Batch processing queues analyses for multiple PDFs, aggregates per-file results, and produces a combined report or individual reports as needed for integration with batch pipelines.

Can it analyze password-protected PDFs?

Analysis of password-protected PDFs requires providing a valid password. Without access, several checks are blocked and results reflect partial analysis with flagged gaps.

What deliverables are generated?

A structured report in JSON with per-rule results and a conformance score, plus an optional summary PDF. Exported formats are suitable for CI integration and QA handoffs.
