Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest PDF remediation tool?
RemeDocs is the fastest option for automated PDF remediation, processing most documents in under two minutes. Equidox and CommonLook require hours of manual operator work per document. Allyant's service bureau takes five or more business days. DocAccess provides instant results but produces HTML transcripts, not remediated PDFs.
Which PDF accessibility tool is best for government agencies?
Government agencies facing ADA Title II deadlines and Section 508 compliance requirements benefit from automated tools that can process document backlogs quickly. RemeDocs produces PDF/UA-compliant output that meets Section 508 standards without requiring specialized staff or training.
How much does PDF remediation cost?
Costs vary widely. RemeDocs starts with a free tier and offers paid plans at $29.99 and $99.99 per month. Allyant charges $5–8 per page with rush surcharges. CommonLook costs approximately $900 per year per seat plus an Adobe Acrobat subscription. Equidox uses enterprise pricing that is not publicly available.
Do any PDF remediation tools produce HTML instead of PDF?
Yes. DocAccess converts PDFs to HTML transcripts rather than remediating the actual PDF files. The original PDFs remain inaccessible. All other tools in this comparison — RemeDocs, Equidox, CommonLook, and Allyant — produce actual tagged PDF output.
