PDF/UA and accessibility workflows you can audit
Running accessibility checks and remediation as explicit API stages—with capability gates that match what your deployment actually ships.
Accessibility is not a checkbox on a marketing page. It is a pipeline stage with inputs, artifacts, and evidence. Apilyn exposes check and remediate operations as named pipelines so you can attach them to release gates the same way you attach unit tests.
Your deployment may not enable every remediation path on day one. Capability responses are explicit: when a stage is unavailable, clients receive a structured code rather than a silent downgrade.
Check before you remediate
Start with an accessibility check job on the source PDF. Persist the report JSON in your object store alongside the job ID. Only enqueue remediation when policy allows automated fixes for the failure classes you see.
Keep human review in the loop for customer-facing documents. The API gives you machine-readable findings; your workflow tool decides whether to auto-remediate, route to QA, or block publish.
Evidence for B2B buyers
Store job IDs, webhook delivery IDs, and download checksums in your audit trail. When procurement asks how PDF/UA is handled, you point to deterministic job history—not a black-box desktop macro.
Pair accessibility stages with PII detection when documents may contain account numbers or national identifiers. Redaction and accessibility often land in the same compliance narrative; model them as separate jobs for clearer billing and retries.
Continue with the OpenAPI reference and SDK samples in the docs, or issue keys from the dashboard when you are ready to wire staging traffic.
