About Accessful GmbH

Accessful automatically makes PDF documents accessible — according to PDF/UA, BITV 2.0, and the requirements of the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG). The problem is rarely the individual document. It is the quantity. Authorities, banks, insurance companies, and universities manage portfolios of several thousand PDFs and produce new ones constantly. Manual post-processing costs 45 to 90 minutes per document. This calculation does not work on a large scale. The test standard for PDF accessibility, the Matterhorn Protocol, describes 136 error conditions. 89 of these can be checked unambiguously by machine. 47 require a judgment about what a document means: Does this graphic convey information or is it decoration? Is this line a heading or just emphasis? This is exactly where our approximately 40 specialized AI models come in — the part that classic tools pass while the screen reader user still cannot understand the document. Operation and data storage: Hosting at netcup, Germany ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified Zero Data Retention — documents are not stored after processing No third-party AI as a sub-contractor The technical requirements for accessibility are identical in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
