Title II PDF Checkfree · no email · nothing stored

How many of your PDFs would fail an ADA Title II check?

Agendas, packets, minutes and forms posted as PDFs count as web content under the Title II rule, and must meet WCAG 2.1 AA from your compliance date. Enter your website: we find the PDFs it links to, run the first machine checks on up to 20 of them in your browser, and estimate what fixing the rest would cost.

Takes 20–60 seconds. Public pages only; PDFs are read in your browser and not stored.

Or check one file on your computer: (it never leaves your browser)

Want next week's agenda packet fixed, done for you?

Checking is the easy part; tagging, reading order, alt text and tables take a person. We're fixing a few agenda packets by hand for early users, free, while we decide what to build (a weekly routine: each new packet checked and fixed before it's posted). Ask for a fixed packet.

What it checks, and what it can't

Finds: PDF links on your home page and up to 6 linked pages about agendas, minutes, meetings, documents, forms or budgets. Agenda platforms on other sites (Granicus/Legistar, CivicClerk, BoardDocs, …) are named but not crawled.
Checks per PDF: tagged (structure tree and "marked"), scanned image-only pages (no text layer), document title, language. These are the first failures any automated checker (PAC, Acrobat, veraPDF) reports. Checked against pypdf on 77 local-government PDFs (October 2026).
Can't check: reading order, alt text quality, tables, headings, colour contrast, form labels. A file can pass these four checks and still fail WCAG; it can't pass WCAG while failing them.
Cost estimate: pages that fail × published per-page rates: automated tagging $0.30–3.50, human remediation typically $5–8 (Harbor Accessibility, 2026; Continual Engine, 2026). Your quotes will differ.
Dates: 26 April 2027 for a total population of 50,000 or more; 26 April 2028 for smaller entities and all special district governments (DOJ interim final rule, 20 April 2026). Documents posted before the date are excepted only if they're archived or not used to apply for or use services; agendas and forms in use aren't. Not legal advice.
Sites behind bot protection are reported as "couldn't read"; we don't get around it.
