pdfGoHTML
Produced by callas software GmbH
pdfGoHTML is an inspection tool designed to verify whether PDF files are tagged correctly for accessibility workflows. While PDF standards allow files to be technically compliant, real-world accessibility depends on whether tagging accurately reflects how humans read and understand content.
PDF files can be tagged with structure, language information, and alternative text, yet still fail in practice. Text may be tagged with an incorrect language, images may have meaningless alternative descriptions, or the document structure may not match the natural reading order.
pdfGoHTML converts PDF files into a structured HTML representation that exposes tagging, structure, language, and content order in a way that is easy to inspect and understand. This allows accessibility specialists to quickly verify whether tagging is meaningful, complete, and usable –without guessing based on visual appearance alone.
While primarily focused on accessibility verification, pdfGoHTML can also support archival workflows that require tagging and structural information as specified by standards.
