PDF Accessibility Remediation
Automated PDF Accessibility Remediation at Scale
ComplyLoft auto-tags document content, repairs structure and reading order, and prompts for missing alternative text - reducing the specialist effort required to bring your PDFs towards WCAG and PDF/UA compliance under the EAA.
The problem at scale
Manual PDF remediation cannot scale
Regulated organisations in financial services, insurance, and utilities produce thousands of PDFs that were never built to be accessible. Manual remediation is slow, expensive, and inconsistent. Legacy billing systems generate non-compliant documents in the millions. Complex, design-heavy files such as annual reports and brochures require disproportionate specialist time to fix by hand. The EAA is now in force, and the volume of documents requiring remediation makes a purely manual approach commercially unviable.
-
Legacy billing and statement systems generate non-compliant PDFs at volumes that cannot be addressed document by document
-
Complex documents such as annual reports, brochures, and policy documents require specialist time that is difficult and expensive to scale
-
Output quality varies across teams and tools, creating inconsistency and compliance risk across large document estates
-
Manual remediation workflows lack the audit trails organisations need to evidence their compliance programme
-
The EAA deadline of 28 June 2025 has passed, meaning in-scope organisations are already required to comply
Two Distinct Use Cases
High-volume statements and complex documents require different approaches
ComplyLoft addresses two distinct remediation challenges. For simple, high-volume system-generated documents such as bank statements and billing notices, ComplyLoft can be tuned to a consistent document template and then process those documents to full accessibility compliance at scale. For complex, design-heavy documents such as annual reports and brochures, ComplyLoft automates the heavy lifting and typically brings documents to approximately 90% compliance. In both cases, a human must review, adjust where needed, and sign off on all outputs before use.
How it works
What ComplyLoft does to your PDFs
ComplyLoft processes your documents through a structured remediation workflow, addressing the structural and technical requirements of PDF/UA and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The platform does the groundwork so your specialists focus on review and sign-off, not starting from scratch.

Tagging and Structure Repair
ComplyLoft automatically applies semantic tags to document content, including headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and figures. Where tag structure is incorrect or missing, the platform repairs it, ensuring assistive technologies can interpret and communicate the document hierarchy correctly.

Getting started
From document review to accessible output at scale
Pre-engagement audit
Before any commercial commitment, ComplyLoft processes a representative selection of your own documents and returns them with expert markups from our accessibility team. You see exactly how the platform performs against your actual files, and receive actionable feedback on any accessibility issues being introduced at the point of document creation.
Template review and configuration
Train staff and integrate your systems
For high-volume system-generated documents, ComplyLoft reviews your actual templates and tunes the platform around your specific document structure and edge cases. This configuration stage is what enables consistent, automated processing at scale.
Staff training and API integration
A 30-minute training session covers UI-based remediation for ad-hoc documents. For high-volume workflows, the ComplyLoft API is integrated into your existing systems so documents are remediated automatically as they are generated, without manual intervention.
Automate, review, and sign off
Remediation runs end-to-end with validation. Your specialists review the output, make any necessary adjustments, and sign off. ComplyLoft does the heavy lifting at every step. The final compliance determination and sign-off always rests with your team.
Export with audit logs
Remediated PDFs are exported with full audit logs and compliance reports. This gives your organisation the evidence trail it needs to demonstrate its accessibility programme to regulators, clients, or internal governance functions.
