Saving Alt Text When Making a PDF/UA Compliant Document
Retagging a PDF for PDF/UA compliance can pass automated validation while quietly wiping out the Alt text someone carefully wrote in Word. Acrobat, Xodo PDF Studio, and Nutrient all behave this way, because autoConvert rebuilds the tag tree from scratch. This article shows how to use the Apryse SDK to preserve that work. You’ll see why tag IDs and MCIDs can’t be used to link old and new tags, and how matching images by page location solves the problem.
The six-step Node.js approach extracts the existing Alt text, retags the document, matches old and new image tags by overlap, and copies the Alt text across. You’ll also see how unmatched items are logged for manual review.

Making Documents PDF/UA Compliant
Find out how to fix a PDF that has tags but still fails PDF/UA checks. Starting with a Word-exported document that PAC and veraPDF both flag, you’ll see how the Apryse SDK’s PDFUAConformance autoConvert call rebuilds tags, adds a missing title, and fills in image Alt text so the file passes validation. You’ll also learn why passing isn’t the end of the story: titles like “TRN-31616” and Alt text like “Image1” are technically present but not meaningful. The article shows three ways to review and improve them, using Xodo PDF Studio, the Apryse Server SDK (including LLM-generated descriptions), and a WebViewer-based review workflow that keeps a human in the loop.

Validating Documents for PDF/UA Compliance
A green checkmark from an accessibility checker doesn’t guarantee a PDF is truly PDF/UA compliant. You’ll learn what PDF/UA-1 and PDF/UA-2 require, including tagged structure, reading order, alt text, artifacts, metadata, and embedded fonts, and why PDF/UA-2 isn’t simply a superset of PDF/UA-1. Using two free tools, veraPDF and PAC, you’ll see how to validate a file through a UI or the command line, how to read the reports for compliant and non-compliant documents, and where each tool falls short, such as PAC’s lack of PDF 2.0 support. You’ll also see why automated checks must be paired with human review of reading order and artifacts.

Enterprise-Grade Shouldn't Mean Enterprise-Only
Summary: Enterprise-grade infrastructure isn't just for enterprises anymore. For years, growing teams have faced a false choice: start with lightweight, affordable tools that break down under real production demands, or lock into expensive enterprise contracts built for a company five times their size. This piece makes the case that "enterprise-grade" should be understood as a quality standard, not a pricing tier, breaking it down into five measurable traits (performance, security, reliability, scalability, and cost predictability) and showing why growing companies increasingly need that standard from day one, not after a costly rebuild forces the issue.

Document Generation at Scale: Governance, Compliance, and Best Practices for Regulated Applications
Summary: Scaling document generation in regulated industries requires getting three things right: template-based merging of structured data into finished documents, a governance layer that controls template versions and access, and a compliance foundation built on audit trails, data residency, and long-term archival standards. When these three are handled properly, adding a new document type is a simple template update rather than a full pipeline rebuild. This article covers batch processing patterns, client-side vs. server-side generation tradeoffs, template governance and audit considerations, and how these principles play out in real-world lending, insurance, healthcare, and legal workflows, plus a comparison of platforms for teams evaluating their options.
