Linux PDF viewer with accessibility checking?

6 months ago by Iced Raktajino to c/opensource

I've been tasked with ensuring accessibility of various PDFs my org puts out. Acrobat has some accessibility checks, but I don't want to have to boot into Windows every time I need to check that staff correctly put in alt text and labeled their sections.

Is there a PDF viewer/editor for Linux that will let me run these kinds of checks or at least see various document properties?

I am not sure how complete the accessibility checks 9f Libreoffice are, but they do have the capability to check for it.

Unfortunately, that seems to only work when exporting from a LibreOffice doc. What I'm having to deal with are PDFs generated by various staff already in PDF format.

Actually I do have something else, Verapdf. This is also licensed under opensource licenses (dual license) GPL v3 or MPLv2+ and is actually designed to do the accessibility check
