An AI remediation engine for PDF/UA-1 and WCAG 2.2 AA, built for Indian content. Upload a PDF — scanned or digital, Hindi or Bengali, government circular or banking disclosure. Sixty seconds later, you have a tagged, accessible version that veraPDF verifies independently. ₹5 per page. Fifty pages free on signup.
The PDF accessibility industry is built on the idea that a tool's job is to tell you what is wrong with your document. Adobe Acrobat Pro's accessibility check, axe for PDF, the PAC checker — all of them produce a list. None of them produce a fixed PDF. AccessSure inverts that idea. Validation is a quality gate on the remediator's output, not the product you pay for.
Every PDF accessibility vendor reports a compliance percentage. Most are computed by the vendor's own validator against rules of the vendor's choosing. The number means nothing the moment a buyer's auditor runs their own check and sees a different result.
AccessSure uses veraPDF — the open-source PDF/UA-1 conformance validator built by the PDF Association and the Open Preservation Foundation — as the headline score. The number you see is the rule pass rate against ISO 14289-1. Anyone with veraPDF installed on their machine can re-run the validation and confirm the same number. STQC reviewers use it. EU national libraries use it. We use it because the alternative is asking buyers to trust us, and asking is the wrong starting point.
The certification threshold is set at 90 percent veraPDF rule pass. Documents below that bar receive their audit report — we will not stamp a compliance certificate on a PDF the open-source validator does not endorse.
ua1 (ISO 14289-1). Verification timestamp embedded in output metadata. Re-runnable with verapdf -f ua1 output.pdf. The one residual rule is an artifact-marking heuristic on the logo image — a known engineering target, not a customer-facing defect.One upload returns four artifacts — every one of them defensible in an audit room. No exports. No conversion steps. No "send a separate request for the certificate."
Fully tagged structure tree. Document language set. Title metadata corrected. Reading order rebuilt. Decorative content marked as artifact. Alt text on every figure. The page looks identical to the original; the structure underneath is rewritten.
Per-criterion status with evidence — page numbers, hex colour pairs for contrast, structure tree counts, OCR confidence. Not a checklist. A reproducible audit you can hand to a STQC reviewer without further explanation.
Issued for documents scoring at least 90% veraPDF rule pass against ISO 14289-1. References the rule set version, timestamp, and the empanelled lab credentials of the issuing entity. Below 90%: audit report only, no certificate.
Before-and-after page renders. The raw veraPDF JSON output. The internal WCAG validator output. The structure tree dump. The OCR confidence map. If your compliance reviewer is the kind of person who asks how you arrived at your numbers, this is the answer to that conversation. Bundled as a single ZIP with every job.
Most global PDF tools ship with English-only OCR and treat Indian-language documents as edge cases. That is a problem for any government department, any bilingual circular, any annual report from a state-listed PSU, any university transcript. AccessSure was built the other way round. Thirteen Indian scripts are first-class citizens of the pipeline — recognised, tagged, language-attributed, and rendered correctly for regional screen readers.
Bilingual documents — Hindi and English on the same page, the typical pattern for central government circulars — are detected automatically and tagged with en-IN or per-span /Lang markers where dominance is mixed. No manual configuration needed.
What happens between drag-and-drop and the green tick. The pipeline is deterministic where it can be — structure inference, tag tree construction, validation — and uses AI only for the tasks that genuinely need language generation: alt text and document titles.
Drag and drop, or batch upload up to several hundred PDFs at once. Up to 100 MB per file. Scanned, digital, or mixed.
OCR runs on scanned content across the thirteen-language pipeline. AI-driven object detection identifies figures, tables, and charts. Headings and reading order are inferred from layout. AI generates alt text and document titles where missing.
PDF/UA-1 structure tree built deterministically — Document → H1..H6 → P / L / Figure / Table. ParentTree wired. Artifacts marked. Language attributes set per page and per span. Metadata stream injected.
The remediated PDF is fed to veraPDF. Rule pass rate calculated. Compliance certificate issued if the document scores 90% or higher. Output bundle assembled. Wallet charged for the pages processed.
No annual licence. No enterprise contract minimums to access the engine. A prepaid wallet via Razorpay, drawn down by pages remediated. New accounts start with 50 free pages — enough to remediate a complete board report, a financial statement, or a fortnight of office circulars before you have committed a rupee.
For perspective: manual PDF remediation by a trained accessibility specialist in India runs ₹2,000 to ₹8,000 per document. CommonLook and Equidox start at $299 to $349 per user per month in USD, with an annual minimum. AccessSure removes both the labour cost and the foreign-currency floor.
All prices in Indian Rupees, exclusive of GST. Enterprise commitments above 10,000 pages per month qualify for the ₹50-per-document floor under a custom contract.
Four documents define what "PDF accessibility" means in any defensible audit. AccessSure produces output aligned with all four, with veraPDF as the one machine-checkable proof point.

Three contexts where automated PDF remediation moves the needle from "compliance theatre" to "actually accessible." Each one carries a specific deadline pressure that manual remediation cannot match.
MeitY circulars are bilingual (English + Hindi or an Indian regional language), released on short timelines, and required to ship as accessible PDFs under GIGW 3.0 before being uploaded to the ministry portal. Manual remediation breaks the publication cycle. AccessSure absorbs it.
Since the August 2023 SEBI accessibility circular, listed companies, mutual funds and stockbrokers must publish accessible annual reports and disclosures. Hundreds of pages, dense tables, exhibits, signatures. AccessSure ships them in hours; manual remediation takes weeks.
Admission notifications, transcripts, marksheets, loan certificates, KYC forms — the long-tail of documents that fall under RPWD Act provisions and that no manual team can keep up with at the volumes BFSI and education institutions actually publish. Pay-per-page pricing matches the long-tail shape.
Not the polished marketing FAQ. The ten questions we hear in every prospect call, answered the way we answer them on a call.
passed_rules ÷ total_rules) from veraPDF's ISO 14289-1 rule set. Anyone with veraPDF installed can re-run the validation and confirm the number independently. This is not vendor self-report.The fastest way to decide if AccessSure is right for your compliance position is to put a real document through it. No demo file, no sample data. Use the gnarliest bilingual circular or the most-marked-up annual report you have. If we cannot remediate it, you have not spent a rupee.
