Join us for an insightful webinar where we’ll guide you through seamlessly integrating automation and PDF accessibility into your workflow with PDFix SDK – explore a predefined set of actions designed to address common accessibility challenges and show you how to programmatically incorporate them into simple, automated and efficient processes. Let’s watch!


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the automation tool available for other programming languages? What platforms are supported?

Yes, the PDFix SDK supports multiple programming languages including Python, C++, Java, .NET, and JavaScript. It is cross-platform and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

How can I determine the right action and parameters to address other validation clauses?

You can explore the list of Batch Actions available under documentation. While we currently don’t link PDF standard clause numbers directly to actions, we’re working on adding this mapping. For now, feel free to contact us for guidance on addressing specific issues.

What is the PDF page limit that PDFix SDK can handle?

There is no hard limit. We’ve successfully processed PDF files with over 12,000 pages. Performance may depend on system resources, but generally, the SDK can handle large documents efficiently. For monitoring long operations like auto-tagging, progress monitoring can be implemented – contact us for an example.

Is there sample code for creating bookmarks and a table of contents?

Yes! Use the Create Bookmarks action in the PDFix Actions. If your PDF has headings in its structure, this action will auto-generate bookmarks. Check our documentation for implementation details.

Can PDFs be exported to XML, edited, and reconstructed?

PDFix SDK doesn’t support PDF reconstruction from XML. Instead, it provides direct PDF editing functions – modifying content, links, page assembly. For specific needs, review our GitHub examples or email us for guidance.

Which PDFix SDK license is needed for Python-based accessibility fixes?

Accessibility features, including auto-tagging, require the PDFix SDK Enterprise license.

Does automation remove existing tags or add new ones?

The auto-tag function removes the entire existing structure by default. However, for fixing pre-tagged documents – for example those from InDesign – refer to our webinar, which covers custom remediation workflows.

Can the script process an entire directory of files?

Absolutely! Modify the script to iterate through all files in a directory—it can handle any number of PDFs.
