PDFix Launches Desktop 3.0 & SDK 9.0 – Batch PDF/UA Compliance in One Click

PDFix has released Desktop 3.0 and SDK 9.0, delivering the most significant accessibility upgrade in the tool‘s history: validate and fix entire folders of PDFs from a single dashboard, without opening a single file individually.

The headline feature is full-folder batch validation – drop a folder, run PDF/UA checks across every document at once, and apply fixes across the whole batch with one click. The validate → locate → fix loop now lives entirely in one window, powered by deep veraPDF integration that pinpoints errors down to page, annotation, and content-stream level.

Also new in Desktop 3.0

• Action pane with AI-powered remediation actions for smarter compliance
• One-click “Make Accessible” command for the most common PDF/UA failures
• Upgraded AI auto-tagger (Docling) – correctly handles complex tables, nested lists, and multi-column layouts

On the developer side, SDK 9.0 ships a new generation of built-in remediation actions alongside veraPDF object identification that resolves error paths to exact PDF locations for precise automated remediation.

New in SDK 9.0

• Fix Table, Fix Fonts, Fix Headings, Fix Metadata actions
• veraPDF object identification – pinpoints errors to exact PDF location
• External AI actions in full batch mode for high-volume pipelines

Both releases are available now.
