Fast PDF Verification – Assured!

Unlike other PDF verification products, PDF Validator provides users with a certification report for each tested document. Communications and compliance specialists can rest assured that their PDFs are compliant with accessibility standards. With other verification products, it’s not uncommon that documents will pass the tests, but still not be accessible and compliant.

  • Verifies and validates document compliance automatically

  • Only PDF checker that tests against Section 508, WCAG 2.0 AA, PDF/UA, and HHS standards

  • Customize checkpoints to each standard, to meet organization’s accessibility needs

  • And it’s Free!

Test & Validate Accessibility

  • They are great. No complaints. They are easy people with whom to work.
