Automatic PDF testing: Ensuring accessibility with CAAT & PAC

A bad feeling about PDFs on your website?

Your website contains countless PDFs. No one knows exactly how many there are. And whether these documents are truly accessible remains unclear.

Checking them one by one with PAC takes an enormous amount of time, is error-prone, and hardly feasible in practice.

CAAT brings clarity

Automatic search: CAAT scans your entire website and finds every single PDF.
Central overview: All files appear in a clear list with key data.
Accessibility check (PDF/UA): Each document is automatically tested with PAC (powered by axesSense), the recognized tool for PDF/UA compliance.
Direct results: You immediately see which PDFs meet the machine-testable PDF/UA criteria and where action is needed.

The black CAAT cat is looking at three large colored circles with PDF icons: a green circle with multiple PDF icons and a green check mark, a blue circle with two PDF icons and a blue prohibition symbol, and a red circle with three PDF icons and a red cross.

Audit your entire website in no time – with no manual effort.

How CAAT supports you in PDF testing

Automatic scan of your website

CAAT takes the work off your hands. Even large websites are fully scanned within a short time, and all PDFs are detected.

Inventory and assessment

All PDFs are displayed in an overview. Their technical accessibility is checked against PDF/UA using the recognized axesSense library.

Error lists and visual highlighting

Issues are clearly presented. You can immediately see where corrections are needed.

Trust the standard in PDF testing

When it comes to PDF accessibility, there’s no way around PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker). The established tool is used worldwide by accessibility experts.
CAAT relies on the same testing technology as PAC – powered by axesSense.
This brings PAC’s proven quality to your entire website, fully automated for the first time.

Illustration: Along the edges, a variety of symbols can be seen – icons for documents, graphics, and audio files. In the center, there is a large black area with the words “CAAT loves PAC.” The word “loves” is set in a playful, handwritten-style font. The two software names are displayed in their original logos.
