Nutrient Remediate PDF
Remediate an existing PDF by auto-tagging it with PDF/UA semantic structure — headings (H1–H6), lists, tables (TR/TD/TH), reading order, and artifact marking — via the dedicated Nutrient DWS Accessibility API. The script uploads a PDF and writes back the remediated, tagged PDF.
This skill ships auto-tag only. The DWS Accessibility API does not currently expose a separate accessibility conformance validation endpoint (confirmed by live probe — see
references/accessibility-api-reference.md). To check tagged output today, use the bundled standalone verifier —uv run scripts/verify-pdf.py --input doc-tagged.pdf --profile pdfua— which checks structural PDF/UA-1 signals and escalates to a full veraPDF audit when veraPDF is installed. It is not a certification. (The same verifier ships with themake-pdfskill.)
When to use
- "Make this PDF accessible" / "auto-tag for screen readers"
- "Tag this PDF for PDF/UA" / "remediate accessibility"
- "Prepare this document for Section 508" (the tagging step)
