Make Your PDFs EAA Compliant
The European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025 — and the documents your business publishes are part of it. Fix them in minutes, not per-page invoices.
The EAA obliges businesses selling into the EU — e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms and more — to make their services accessible, with EN 301 549 as the technical standard. That includes the documents customers must read: invoices, statements, contracts, product manuals, terms. National enforcement started arriving in 2025–2026 (France's first cases named major retailers), and the document long tail is exactly what businesses forget. Ceereo audits your PDFs against the machine-checkable layer (EN 301 549 §10 maps to WCAG for documents) and produces tagged, verified versions — visually unchanged, ready to publish.

How it works
How to make your pdfs eaa compliant in four steps
The fastest way to make your pdfs eaa compliant without manual copy-paste, screenshots, or formatting cleanup.
- Step 1
Upload your Word document
Drop in the messy .docx you want cleaned up. Your file is processed only to format it and is never used to train models.
- Step 2
AI reads the structure
The AI detects headings, body text, lists, and tables, and finds inconsistent styling, without changing any of your wording.
- Step 3
Formatting is fixed
Heading styles, alignment, spacing, fonts, lists, indentation, and margins are made consistent across the whole document.
- Step 4
Download the clean .docx
Get a still-editable Word file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice: clean formatting, your words unchanged.
In short
The EAA (in force June 2025) requires EU-facing businesses to make service documents accessible under EN 301 549 — invoices, statements, manuals, contracts included. Ceereo audits PDFs against the machine-checkable layer free and produces tagged, verified, pixel-identical fixes per document.
Does the EAA apply to PDF documents?
Yes — where documents are part of an in-scope service (e-commerce order confirmations, bank statements, transport tickets, product support manuals), they fall under EN 301 549's document requirements, which apply WCAG criteria to PDFs: tags, reading order, language, alt text, titles. Machine checks verify that layer; Ceereo audits it free and fixes it per document.
The forgotten long tail
Websites got fixed; the PDFs didn't
EAA programs budget for the website and the app — then a screen-reader user opens the invoice. Document accessibility is the audit finding nobody owns, and per-page agency rates make fixing hundreds of routine PDFs absurd. Flat per-document automation is the sane answer for exactly this tail.

Frequently asked questions
Which businesses does the EAA cover?+
Consumer-facing services in scope include e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms, e-books and more, selling into any EU member state — including non-EU companies serving EU customers. Microenterprises (under 10 staff and €2M) have a service exemption; check your national transposition.
Is EN 301 549 different from WCAG?+
For documents, EN 301 549 chapter 10 applies WCAG success criteria to non-web documents — so the practical checks are the same family: tags, language, alt text, structure, contrast.
