How to choose

Mostly text documents and a tight budget: a self-service tool with published prices. Try a few of your real files with each tool’s free allowance and compare the results with a screen reader.
Need color contrast fixed inside the PDF: check which tools claim it. Fruition lists contrast correction in its Full AI tier; we do not change colors.
Forms and legally sensitive documents: manual remediation or Acrobat Pro.
Need a human sign-off: a manual service.

Test before you buy

Pick five representative PDFs: an agenda, a fee table, a scanned page, a newsletter and a form. Run them through each tool’s free allowance. Then check each result with PAC or veraPDF and listen to it with NVDA. The differences show up quickly, especially on headings and tables.
