Gutenburg supports PDF/UA-1 and PDF/UA-2 compliant output. These capabilities are implemented in Gutenburg’s custom PDF engine so accessibility can be created as part of the document-generation process.
Supported PDF/UA profiles
- PDF/UA-1
- PDF/UA-2
Accessibility is generated with the PDF
The PDF/UA capability is not a post-processing service layered onto an externally rendered file. Gutenburg’s engine produces the PDF and its supported accessibility structure within the same generation process.
Release validation
Gutenburg checks generated PDFs against five independent third-party accessibility checking tools with each release. This testing is used to catch accessibility regressions in generated output.
Author-controlled accessibility still matters
PDF/UA-capable output does not remove the need for responsible template authoring. Visual contrast, meaningful alternative text, and other content decisions that require context remain under author control.
