Create ADA compliant/Tagged/Accessible PDF Document from HTML using Aspose.PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

We have below requirement to generate ADA (American Disability Act) compliant PDF.

Problem: We are generating html structure programmatically having html tags like headings (h1 tags), tables, links, charts (svg tags), images (with alt text), paragraphs, etc. We are looking for a way to generate pdf from this html with same look and feel (including CSS style sheets). This PDF must also be ADA compliant (i.e. tagged pdf and user accessibility).
Below requirements must be met for User accessibility:

  1. Headings are tagged to maintain document hierarchy.

  2. Images/charts should be tagged with alternate text

  3. Table row headers need to be tagged so that if the table is separated across 2 pages, it will still be recognized as part of one table

We need to know how can we generate ADA compliant pdf from this html.

Regards,
Sanjay

Thanks for contacting support.

Aspose.PDF offers functionality to generate Accessible PDF files as well as convert PDF to Tagged/Accessible PDF document. As far as functionality to generate ADA compliant PDF (Accessible PDF) directly from HTML is concerned, the feature is not supported at the moment. However, we do have plans to implement this support and for the purpose, a feature request with ID PDFNET-47523 has been logged in our issue tracking system.

We will surely investigate the feasibility of this feature and keep you informed with the status of its availability. Please be patient and spare us little time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Your understanding is correct. Regretfully, the fix against the ticket has not been implemented in the API and is not available in the latest version also.

Thank you for the information.
is there any other API ASPOSE provides that converts HTML to ADA Compliant PDF?

@testinghtmltopdf

Regretfully, no other Aspose API offers the functionality to create ADA Compliant PDF from HTML. A feature request has been logged however for Aspose.Word but, this feature is not implemented yet. As far as the logged ticket is concerned, we will inform you once it is fixed.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
