Equidox
Equidox is a cloud-based PDF remediation software solution that helps users convert inaccessible PDFs into accessible PDF, HTML, and EPUB 2 formats. Your content team can use Equidox via the browser, from any major platform, without needing a license for Acrobat Pro to:
- Remediate documents more quickly and simply than remediating with Acrobat Pro
- Take advantage of Smart Detection features and machine learning to automatically detect and tag certain content types, such as tables and lists
- Create accessible files without having access to source documents (although remediation is easier if the source documents were created in an accessible way)
