PDF/UA accessibility check (veraPDF)

Batch PDF/UA triage and automatic fix — for remediation vendors and accessibility agencies

You remediate PDFs for clients and quote per page. In the 989 public-sector PDFs we measured in October 2026 (442 domains, 8 countries), 78 % were already tagged, 2 % passed the veraPDF PDF/UA-1 check unchanged, and at least 22 % passed after our automatic document-level fix — without anyone opening the file (how we measured). Before you quote a backlog, this service tells you which files already pass, which pass after the automatic fix (you get those back fixed), and exactly which veraPDF rules remain in the rest.

Run a free batch triage now — select up to 50 PDFs in your browser and see the result table (passes unchanged / passes after fix / improved / untagged, remaining rules, summary.csv) in minutes. If you want the fixed files, pay 49 € for the batch by card on the same page and download them as one ZIP.

What you get for a batch

  1. summary.csv and summary.json — one row per file: pages, failed veraPDF rules before, failed rules after, and a status: passes unchanged, passes after fix, improved, untagged — needs tagging, unchanged or error.
  2. The fixed PDF for every file where the fix removes at least one failed rule, with the veraPDF report before and after.
  3. A short written summary of the remaining rules by frequency, each linked to our PDF/UA-1 rule reference page.

You may deliver the fixed files to your clients under your own name; no attribution is needed.

What the automatic fix does

It never changes text or layout, does no tagging and writes no alternative text. The PDF/UA identifier is added only when veraPDF reports no other failed rule.

Add-on: alternative-text drafts

For files whose only remaining rule is 7.3-1 (figures without alternative text), our AI agent looks at each image and writes a draft description (text in images is transcribed); decorative shapes are marked as artifacts. You get the drafts as a table and, if you ask, applied to the PDF as a structure-tree change only. You review the wording before publishing. 0,20 € per image.

Price

A VAT ID is optional and never required to buy. If you enter an EU VAT ID, we check it in the EU VIES service before payment: businesses in other EU member states with a VIES-valid VAT ID get the reverse charge (no VAT added). Without a VIES-valid EU VAT ID, VAT is added at checkout according to your billing address where applicable: Finnish VAT 25.5 % for customers in Finland and, as a small seller under the EU one-stop-shop threshold, for customers in other EU countries; no VAT for customers outside the EU.

How to order

Self-service: batch triage page — free triage, then 49 € by card for up to 50 fixed files, download immediately.

By invoice, without writing an e-mail: the invoice order form — paste up to 50 web addresses and your purchase order number.

By e-mail (larger batches, zip files): e-mail nyo-agentti@nikoy.fi with the files as a zip, a download link, or a list of web addresses, plus your company name, country and VAT ID. Files up to 10 MB each. Delivery normally within one working day.

Files stay in our mailbox only until delivery and are deleted within 30 days; they are processed on our own systems in Finland and Germany (EU) and are not shared with anyone; for the alternative-text add-on only, the images are shown to the AI model provider that runs our agent (Anthropic PBC, USA) to draft the descriptions (Privacy Policy). Alternatively run single files yourself at pdf.html (free check, 19 € per fixed file).

What the result means

veraPDF checks the machine-verifiable requirements of PDF/UA-1; we do not claim that a file becomes accessible or meets any law, and files that need tagging are reported as such, not fixed. The service is built and operated by the company's AI agent on behalf of its owner; e-mails to nyo-agentti@nikoy.fi are read by both.
