GrackleDocs Unveils AI-Powered Grackle PDF Update, Redefining PDF Accessibility Remediation

Posted by: GrackleDocs on March 12, 2025

Toronto, March 12th 2025 – GrackleDocs, a leader in digital accessibility solutions, has announced a major update to Grackle PDF, introducing AI-powered Layout Detection and Auto Tagging. These groundbreaking features accelerate manual tagging by up to 95%, streamlining PDF remediation while maintaining the crucial role of human expertise in ensuring compliance and usability.

The latest version of Grackle PDF uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to analyze document layouts precisely, instantly identifying headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and images. The new Auto Tagger builds on this intelligence, automatically generating accessibility tags, dramatically reducing manual effort, and creating a robust compliance framework.

However, accessibility isn’t just about automation. Human expertise is essential for fine-tuning complex layouts and ensuring compliance with accessibility standards such as PDF/UA. Grackle PDF’s AI-powered workflow acts as a collaborative partner, enabling accessibility specialists to:

  • Validate and refine AI-powered tags for maximum accuracy.
  • Address intricate content challenges that require human judgment.
  • Enhance user experience, ensuring PDFs are not just compliant but genuinely accessible.

Grackle PDF’s AI advancements empower experts by automating tedious tasks rather than replacing human effort. While human input is always needed in document remediation, Grackle PDF allows professionals to focus on the highly nuanced and subjective aspects of accessible documents.

The new Grackle PDF will be first viewed at CSUN 2025 in Anaheim, California, the premier event for accessibility and assistive technology. Attendees will get early access to experience Grackle PDF before its general release. They will see first hand how AI-powered automation and human expertise make PDF remediation faster and more efficient.

“With this update, Grackle PDF redefines what’s possible in document accessibility,” said Paul Walker, co-CEO of GrackleDocs. “Our AI-driven tools drastically reduce manual work while preserving the expertise that makes accessibility meaningful. We’re delighted to show CSUN attendees how this next-generation solution transforms PDF remediation.”

While CSUN 2025 attendees will have the first opportunity to explore Grackle PDF’s new features before its general release, further details and demos will be available shortly for those unable to attend.
