pdf-a11y hits PyPI for offline PDF accessibility fixes

pdf-a11y just landed on PyPI and it solves a real problem. Organizations need to make their PDFs accessible. The EU Accessibility Act, Section 508 in the US, ADA requirements, and WCAG 2.2 audits all demand it now, and companies have been scrambling to figure out how without turning their confidential documents over to some cloud service they don't fully trust.

Here's what makes this different: you run it locally on your own infrastructure. Your sensitive PDFs never leave your network. The tool handles the remediation programmatically, meaning developers can automate the fix across entire document repositories without manual clicking and tweaking for hours. You get compliance without compromise.

Why should you care? Because accessibility compliance is coming whether you're ready or not, and the audit penalties are real. If you've got stacks of PDFs gathering digital dust and no clear path to making them accessible, this gives you a way forward that doesn't require trusting your data to someone else or hiring an army of consultants.
