Abstract

With the ISO-standard PDF/UA-1 and the free PDF accessibility checker (PAC) 2 it is possible to validate PDF documents for accessibility very easily based on clearly defined requirements. But users who evaluate their documents are often faced with hard to correct errors because the mainstream authoring programs do not fully support PDF/UA yet. Remediation is tedious and time-consuming and sometimes even impossible with available tools. Therefore we worked out the main "last mile" errors and developed a special tool for "quickfixing" these errors - even for document authors without PDF accessibility knowledge on expert level. In this paper we present this approach and the tool. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
