What Easy 508 does

Automates the essentials for Section 508 compliance.

Built for Word-to-PDF workflows: fix structure, alt text, links, language, and metadata before you export.

Document hygiene

Update titles, author, subject, category, and keywords. Strip line numbers, accept tracked changes, and remove comments.

Structure & headings

Validate heading order (no skipped levels), repeat table headers, stop row breaks across pages, and keep bookmarks aligned.

Alt text automation

Pull captions into inline figure alt text, add alt text to text boxes, and mark decorative images correctly.

PDF/UA + WCAG alignment

Generate tagged PDFs with language, bookmarks, and semantics aligned to PDF/UA and WCAG expectations.

Link cleanup

Manage hyperlinks, remove internal field-code links, and ensure external links behave as expected.

Language & properties

Set the document language for accessibility and export tagged PDFs with embedded properties and bookmarks.

Batch ready

Process entire folders so teams can clean multiple documents consistently before delivery.

PAC + VeraPDF checks

Run PAC for PDF/UA and VeraPDF for ISO PDF/A validation, capturing reports before you deliver to customers.

Reporting for customers

Generate compliance-friendly outputs and artifacts you can provide to customers along with the final PDFs.

Caption & en-dash handling

Automatically replace hyphens with en-dashes in captions and normalize formatting so documents meet editorial and accessibility standards.

Table remediation

Repeat header rows, remove row breaks across pages, and ensure table structures are tagged correctly for screen readers.

AI-assisted alt text

Optionally use OpenAI to generate descriptive alt text for images that lack captions, reducing manual effort for large documents.

How it works

Three steps to a compliant PDF.

01

Load your Word doc

Open a single file or a folder for batch cleanup.

02

Fix structure automatically

Headings, alt text, links, and properties are normalized for accessibility.

03

Export tagged PDF

Generate tagged PDFs with bookmarks and language set for Section 508, PDF/UA, and WCAG review; validate with PAC + VeraPDF.
