Free PDF Accessibility Checker for Government Agencies
Upload a small sample of your public-facing PDFs and see exactly where you stand against ADA Title II, WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and PDF/UA before the April 2026 deadline.
Powered by Accessibility on Demand™ from BlueIrisIQ and Netra Labs – focused on state, county, local government, K–12, and public higher education.
Try The PDF Accessibility Checker On Your Own Documents
You already know your website has to be accessible. The harder question is what to do with years of public-facing PDFs that sit in your document libraries, media folders, and meeting archives.
Our PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC) gives you a low-risk way to see the issues hiding in those files, using your own content instead of generic samples.
Run a free sample check on a small set of your PDFs (for example, up to 10 pages of high-priority content).
You receive clear, plain-English results that map directly to ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements.
You decide whether to fix files internally or use our Accessibility on Demand™ managed remediation service.

Why A Sample PDF Accessibility Check Matters Now, Not Next Year
For many public entities, the April 2026 ADA Title II digital accessibility deadline is closer than it looks. Most of the risk is not on your web templates, but in the PDFs you have published over time.

Who Should Request a Sample PDF Accessibility Check
This free PDF accessibility check is built for public-sector teams that own digital content, records, or constituent-facing services.
Typical requesters include:
ADA and Section 504 Coordinators
who need defensible evidence of document accessibility work.
CIOs, IT Directors, and Digital Services Leaders
responsible for web and mobile accessibility programs.
Records Managers, Clerks, and Public Records Teams
with large repositories of PDFs, agendas, and public reports.
K–12 and Higher Education Web and Accessibility Teams
who must make course materials, catalogs, and policies accessible to all students.
Note: While our focus is state, county, local government, K–12, and public higher ed, the sample PDF accessibility check can also apply to other public sector organizations with ADA Title II or Section 508 document accessibility obligations.
