Developer tools for automating PDF accessibility

PDFix is a hybrid platform as we have both desktop and SDK tools that work together for automated PDF accessibility remediation and validation with a strong emphasis on:
· Automation at scale using our SDK with batch processing
· Developer integration (API, CLI, Docker)
· Real-time validation during remediation using VeraPDF
· Cross-platform deployment (Windows, Mac and Linux)
Key Capabilities
· AI driven auto tagging and structure recognition with the ability to use multiple AI systems both online and offline
· Full remediation and validation in one workflow
· SDK for embedding into enterprise systems
· Batch and headless processing for high volumes
· Affordable licensing with unlimited page counts and scalable performance
Bottom line: PDFix is one of the few tools built equally for engineers, developers and accessibility teams, not just for manual remediators.

I recently set up a new company here in the U.S. focused on reselling some advanced tools for making PDF files fully accessible for people using assistive technology such as screen readers. Great to be part of a cutting-edge company that uses AI and multiple components from other developers to build solutions to make the web accessible for all.
