European Accessibility Act
EU law (applying since June 2025) requiring consumer-facing services — e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms — to be accessible under EN 301 549, which applies WCAG criteria to documents like invoices, statements, and manuals.
The EAA's document tail is the part programs forget: the website gets fixed while the PDFs customers must read stay broken. National enforcement began arriving in 2025–2026, with first cases naming major retailers.

Check whether your PDF is accessible
Ceereo audits any born-digital PDF against PDF/UA and WCAG machine checks for free, then writes the missing accessibility layer into the same file. The document looks exactly the same afterwards.
