# PDFAccessibility.ai

> PDFAccessibility.ai helps teams make PDFs accessible, searchable, and RAG-ready through two product tracks: a PDF Accessibility workspace for checking, remediation, manual review, and accessible PDF export; and a Smart PDF RAG / Developer API for structured PDF extraction.

Use this file as a concise map of the public site. The PDF Accessibility and Developer API products are separate subscriptions; bundle plans can include both. Do not treat an internal score alone as proof of compliance: the exported PDF should be validated with an appropriate external PDF/UA or accessibility validator.

## Core Products
