Customer Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PDFix Desktop pricing and capabilities.
Is PDFix Desktop free to use?
Yes. PDFix Desktop Lite is permanently free – no time limit, no registration, no credit card required. It includes a full PDF accessibility checker powered by veraPDF, supporting WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, PDF/UA (ISO 14289), Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act. Download it now for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
PDFix Desktop and the PDFix SDK are also available for free with all features included; the only limitation is that saved documents will contain a watermark.
What does PDFix Desktop Pro cost and what does it include?
PDFix Desktop Pro costs €350 per user per year. It includes everything in Lite plus: AI-powered auto-tagging, full PDF remediation and accessibility fixes, table and list structure editing, reading order management, PDF conversion, layout template configuration, and custom command scripting. Designed for accessibility specialists remediating individual PDFs efficiently.
What is the difference between Pro and Enterprise?
The key difference is batch processing. Enterprise adds the ability to process hundreds or thousands of PDFs automatically – no manual file-by-file work. If your team remediates more than ~50 documents per week, Enterprise typically pays for itself quickly.
Does PDFix Desktop work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. PDFix Desktop runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux – all three platforms at no extra cost. This makes PDFix unique: most PDF accessibility tools are Windows-only or web-based SaaS. If your team uses mixed operating systems or requires a Linux server environment, PDFix is the only desktop solution that covers all three.
What accessibility standards does PDFix support?
PDFix Desktop supports all major global accessibility standards: PDF/UA (ISO 14289), WCAG 2.1 Level AA, WCAG 2.2 Level AA, ADA Title II (including the 2026 deadlines for US government and universities), Section 508 for federal agencies, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA / EN 301 549) for EU compliance.
How does PDFix Desktop compare to Adobe Acrobat Pro for PDF accessibility?
Adobe Acrobat Pro is a general PDF editor with accessibility tools added on. PDFix Desktop is purpose-built for PDF accessibility remediation, with AI-powered auto-tagging that significantly reduces manual effort. Key PDFix advantages: cross-platform (Mac/Linux support), fully on-premises (no cloud), batch processing in Enterprise tier, and lower per-user cost for dedicated compliance teams. Adobe is better for general document creation; PDFix is better for systematic, standards-driven remediation workflows.
Does PDFix upload my documents to the cloud?
No. PDFix Desktop is fully on-premises – your documents never leave your computer or network. There is no cloud upload, no SaaS processing, and no telemetry on document content. This is why agencies like USCIS and the Judicial Council of California trust PDFix for sensitive and classified documents. For GDPR, FISMA, and HIPAA-constrained environments, PDFix is the correct choice.
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 digital content – including PDFs – by April 24, 2026 (large entities) or April 26, 2027 (smaller entities). PDFix Desktop’s batch processing and auto-tagging capabilities are designed specifically to help organizations remediate large legacy document repositories before this deadline.
Disclaimer: PDFix provides tools and technology to assist in making your documents accessible, but we do not guarantee 100% document accessibility. Achieving full compliance requires human checks and intervention. Please note that PDFix is a technology provider, not a service provider. The responsibility for document compliance rests with the user.
