Does European law require accessible PDFs?
The European Accessibility Act, Directive (EU) 2019/882, has applied since 28 June 2025 to certain consumer products and services, including e-commerce. Its scope has exceptions, including microenterprises providing services. It does not impose a universal requirement on every PDF.
Directive (EU) 2016/2102 also covers public-sector websites and mobile apps. Exact duties depend on the service, document, exceptions and national implementation.

Does PDF/A or a PDF/UA check prove accessibility?
PDF/A is for long-term preservation; PDF/UA concerns accessibility. These are distinct goals. veraPDF checks rules that can be automated, but reading order, meaningful alternatives and the real experience require human review. A passing report does not certify legal compliance.
