Frequently Asked Questions
- How long will it take to create a more accessible PDF?
Minutes. Instead of spending hours manually tagging tags, reading order, and tables in heavy design software, Grackle PDF automatically processes and structures your document almost instantly. You get a dramatically more accessible file, leaving you only with quick, high-level decisions (like verifying alt text) rather than starting from a blank page.
- Will this tool certify that my PDF is 100% legally compliant?
No, and we’re upfront about that. Grackle PDF is a tool designed to drastically improve your PDF accessibility. It doesn’t certify, guarantee, or attest to full legal conformance standards. If you need an audit-defensible compliance deliverable, Grackle PDF Desktop, included with your Grackle PDF plan, is built for exactly that and takes it from here.
What does an accessible PDF actually look like?
Accessibility happens behind the scenes in the document’s structure. An accessible PDF contains hidden tags, logical reading order, and clear content hierarchies that allow assistive technologies like screen readers or screen magnifiers to announce headings, tables, and images accurately. To your end-readers, your document maintains its exact branding, fonts, and styling while becoming seamlessly usable for everyone.
How does the AI auto-confirmation work?
Our AI auto-tags most of your document for you – structural elements like paragraphs, tables, lists, and captions, so you’re not starting from scratch. It leaves you as the human in the loop to review the results and make the contextual calls, like image alt text or reading order, that need a person’s judgment.
Do I need to install any software?
Grackle PDF is a web app with no installation, software permissions, or browser plugins required. Just open a modern browser on Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, or Linux and get started.
If your workflow calls for something more robust, Grackle PDF Desktop is included with new plan purchases. Desktop does require installation, which some teams prefer for security, policy or workflow reasons, so you can choose the option that best fits your environment.
