If you’re in business, banking, insurance, finance or any document-heavy industry that sends out thousands of invoices daily, accessibility is no longer optional. Ensuring every invoice is compliant with PDF/UA and WCAG is key to meeting legal requirements and delivering inclusive customer experiences.
Manually making PDF invoices accessible is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to human error. For organizations handling high document volumes, outsourcing or building a specialized remediation team simply isn’t scalable.
That’s why the latest PDFix release is a breakthrough. It introduces enhanced auto-tagging templates purpose-built for industries that generate large volumes of documents, such as invoices. With this update, PDFix enables automated, integrated invoice accessibility compliance from the very start of the document creation process—eliminating the need for manual intervention at the end.
PDFix Templates: Built for High-Volume Invoice Accessibility
Invoices are among the most repetitive and widely mass-produced document types across every industry. They’re typically generated in bulk through internal document systems, often using identical layouts — applying the same template across multiple documents, with only the data varying.
At PDFix, we’ve seen a significant surge in demand from organizations looking to automate the tagging of these high-volume documents right at the point of creation — ensuring compliance from the start without manual remediation.
This is exactly where PDFix Templates deliver value. With our latest release, businesses can now generate PDF/UA-compliant invoices automatically. Our advanced layout recognition engine follows customized template rules to enable accurate, semantic auto-tagging for every document.
Example Use Case: Financial Institutions & Bulk Invoices
One of the most common use cases we see is banks and insurance companies generating hundreds to thousands of invoices per day. These documents are created by internal systems, and share a consistent layout — making them perfect for template-driven accessibility tagging.
How PDFix Handles High-Volume Invoice Accessibility
Here’s how PDFix simplifies and automates accessibility compliance for bulk-generated documents like invoices:
- Define the template using a JSON configuration file
- Based on your document type, you create a set of rules that guide how each element should be tagged.
- Specify the layout elements
- Identify the position and type of each document element (e.g., text, tables, logos) to be included in the template.
- Handle complex layouts with precision
- PDFix now allows highly detailed configuration for complex and variable document structures.
- Recognize semantic structure intelligently
- The recognition engine detects and tags semantic elements in the correct reading order, ensuring compatibility with screen readers.
- Streamline workflow integration
- High demand from customers needing scalable accessibility inspired PDFix to create a tool that integrates directly into existing document generation systems.
- Tag invoices correctly from the start
- The Make Accessible command, with the template integrated, ensures that all invoices are tagged correctly at creation — achieving PDF/UA compliance with no manual intervention.
- Eliminate the need for manual remediation
- No more post-processing, third-party remediation, or hiring specialized accessibility staff. PDFix handles it all automatically at scale.
