How to do it

  1. 1

    Add your file

    Add the PDF that needs to be readable by a screen reader — a public document, a form, anything with a legal accessibility duty.

  2. 2

    Set it up the way you want

    Set the document language and title. Both matter: the language decides how a screen reader pronounces the text.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Download the tagged file, and read the list of what still needs a person. That list is the honest part.

Questions about Fix PDF accessibility

What does this actually add?
Structure tags for headings, paragraphs and lists, so a screen reader can move through the document by heading instead of reading it as one flat block; the document language; the title; and the flag that tells readers the file is tagged. Those four are what turn an unreadable PDF into a navigable one.
Is my document compliant now?
No, and no tool can tell you it is. A machine cannot know what an image means, whether a table has header cells, or whether reading order matches the visual layout. What is fixed automatically is fixed; the rest is listed for you, because a green tick over unchecked items is worse than no tick.
Why is language such a big deal?
Because a screen reader picks its pronunciation from it. A Turkish document with no language set is read aloud with English rules and becomes gibberish. It is one field, it takes a second, and it is the single largest improvement most documents get.
