PDF/UA Scanner

Upload a PDF to check its real PDF/UA tag structure and estimate remediation effort. Table structure and per-image alt text require full content-stream parsing and are flagged for manual review rather than guessed.

PDF scanner results for an ordinary one-page PDF: accessibility score 47, about 0.6 hours of remediation, and a critical failure because the document has no tags.

What This Scanner Checks

Real Tag Tree

Whether the document has an actual /StructTreeRoot, not only the /MarkInfo/Marked flag. A document can claim to be tagged without a real structure tree.

Heading Order

Whether tagged headings (H1, H2, H3...) follow a logical, non-skipping order.

Figure Alt Text

How many tagged Figure elements are missing alternative text.

Table Header Cells

How many tagged Table elements are missing TH header cells for screen reader navigation.

Title & Language Metadata

Whether the PDF's /Title and /Lang document properties are set.
