PDF AA PRO - Disclaimer
Important information about our services
Last updated: January 2026
Please Read Carefully
PDF AA Compliance is an automated, AI-powered accessibility remediation service. While we strive for accuracy, the automated nature of our service means that final responsibility for assuring that remediated documents are suitable for their intended use, rests with you, the user.
Nature of Our Service
PDF AA Compliance provides automated PDF accessibility remediation using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. Our service is designed to:
- Analyze PDF document structure
- Generate alternative text descriptions for images
- Create document structure tags for accessibility
- Identify and remediate common accessibility issues
- Provide validation scores and compliance assessments
Key Disclaimers
1. No Guarantee of Compliance or Fitness for Purpose
While PDF AA Compliance remediates documents to meet accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1 AA, PDF/UA-1, Section 508, and ADA requirements, we do not guarantee that remediated documents will achieve full compliance with any particular standard or pass all accessibility testing tools. Our goal is to provide quality document accessibility for all with an up to 80% cost reduction compared to legacy remediation methods. We do not know your goal(s) in remediating these documents and as the user you need to assess whether our service meets your goal(s).
2. AI-Generated Content Limitations
Alternative text descriptions, document structure analysis, and other AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate descriptions. AI systems, while sophisticated, cannot perfectly interpret all visual content or document structures.
3. User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for reviewing remediated documents before publishing or distributing them. This includes verifying:
- Accuracy of alternative text descriptions
- Correctness of document structure and reading order
- Appropriateness of heading levels
- Table structure accuracy
- Overall accessibility compliance for your specific requirements
4. Validation and Certification
Our validation scores and compliance certificates reflect the assessment of our automated systems at the time of processing. These should not be relied upon as definitive proof of accessibility compliance for legal or regulatory purposes.
5. Complex Documents
Documents with complex layouts, mathematical equations, scientific notation, multilingual content, or specialized formatting may require additional manual review and remediation beyond what our automated service can provide.
Service Limitations
PDF AA Compliance may not be suitable for:
- Documents requiring legally certified accessibility compliance
- Highly complex technical or scientific documents
- Documents with extensive mathematical formulas
- Documents in languages with limited AI support
- Documents where incorrect accessibility could cause significant harm
- Documents with non-standard or corrupt PDF structures
