PDF accessibility — discovery and triage.

PDFs are usually the largest accessibility liability on a public-sector site. Parity gives them the same continuous attention as HTML pages: every PDF discovered during a crawl is queued for structural-heuristic analysis and tracked across scans.

PDF documents view with structural-heuristic findings

What Parity checks

  • Tagged PDF — looks for a structure tree or `/Marked true`. A file with a structure tree is not listed as untagged.
  • Document language — looks for `/Lang`. A missing language is a metadata repair, shown separately from scanned documents that need a specialist.
  • Review buckets — preexisting, third-party, archived, and encrypted files can leave the default problem list after a person confirms the Title II condition. Forms stay on the list.

How teams use it

Government sites typically host hundreds to thousands of PDFs in CMS asset libraries. Parity gives content managers a worklist that prioritizes by severity and recency, with copy-URL affordances for pasting back into the CMS asset search. Pairs naturally with a manual PDF/UA validator pass for the highest-stakes documents.
