What is PDF/UA?

PDF/UA - which stands for PDF (Portable Document Format) universal accessibility - is the international standard for PDF accessibility. Just like WCAG lists the requirements that web pages need to meet in order to be accessible, PDF/UA gives the same guidance, specifically for PDFs.

According to Adobe, creators of the PDF file type:

The PDF/UA standard - formally known as ISO 14289-1 - is designed to ensure that PDFs are universally accessible. Aimed at everyone involved in creating PDFs, it sets minimum requirements that make sure documents are compliant with devices that support people with disabilities.

PDF/UA is a globally accepted standard used all over, including in the US, Canada, Australia, and the European Union.

Our partnered PDF remediation services validate your files against WCAG and PDF/UA.
