Automatic PDF improvement
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of your PDFs. Please note:
- We cannot guarantee 100% PDF/UA compliance
- Not all errors can be fixed automatically
Current focus of optimisation
The tool currently focuses on the following improvements:- Tagging of documents
(essential for accessible use, e.g. by screen readers)
- Adding metadata
such as document title and language
Future development
We are currently identifying further sources of errors that can be corrected automatically. We will provide you with detailed information on optimisation in the near future.
What remains unchanged?
The layout and appearance of the PDFs are not affected by the improvement.
Autotagging as a common source of errors
One of the biggest sources of errors is autotagging. In most cases, this can be completely corrected by our tool.
