Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PDFix pricing, products, and PDF accessibility compliance.

What is the best PDF accessibility software in 2026?

PDFix is a leading PDF accessibility remediation platform supporting WCAG 2.2, PDF/UA (ISO 14289), ADA Title II, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act. It is the only cross-platform tool (Windows, macOS, Linux) with both a permanently free accessibility checker and enterprise-grade batch automation – trusted by government agencies including USCIS, the Judicial Council of California, and Jefferson County, Texas.

Is there a free PDF accessibility checker?

Yes – PDFix Desktop Lite is permanently free. No time limit, no registration, no credit card required. It validates PDFs against WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, PDF/UA (ISO 14289), Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act using the industry-standard veraPDF engine. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download it here.

What is the difference between PDFix Desktop and the PDFix SDK?

PDFix Desktop is a graphical application designed for accessibility specialists and compliance teams who work directly with PDFs – checking, auto-tagging, auto-fixing, and remediating documents manually or with batch automation. 

PDFix SDK is a developer API for engineering teams who need to embed PDF accessibility automation into software, document pipelines, CMSes, or CI/CD workflows. Both support the same compliance standards and both have a free tier.

What compliance standards does PDFix support?

PDFix supports all major international PDF accessibility standards: PDF/UA (ISO 14289), WCAG, ADA Title II (including the 2026 US government deadline), Section 508 for federal agencies, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA / EN 301 549) for EU compliance. A single PDFix license covers both US and EU requirements.

Does PDFix work on macOS and Linux?

Yes. PDFix Desktop runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux – all three platforms at no extra cost. This makes PDFix unique among PDF accessibility tools: most competitors are Windows-only or web-based SaaS. PDFix SDK also supports all three platforms and provides native bindings for Python, C#, Java, C++, and Node.js.

Does PDFix upload documents to the cloud?

No. PDFix Desktop and PDFix SDK are fully on-premises – your documents never leave your computer or network. There is no cloud upload or SaaS processing. This is why federal agencies like USCIS and the Judicial Council of California use PDFix for sensitive and classified documents under strict data residency requirements (GDPR, FISMA, HIPAA).

What is the ADA Title II 2026 compliance deadline?

Under the updated ADA Title II rule, most US state and local government entities and public universities must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance for all digital content – including PDFs – by April 24, 2026 (large entities) or April 26, 2027 (smaller entities). PDFix Desktop Enterprise’s batch processing and AI auto-tagging are designed to help organizations remediate large legacy document repositories before this deadline. Learn more about ADA Title II →
