About DocoMatic
DocoMatic makes public PDFs usable for everyone
We help school districts, cities, counties, colleges, state agencies and hospitals in the US and Canada.
DocoMatic finds the PDFs on your website, fixes them for people who use screen readers, and checks every file before you get it back.
The backlog
Why we built it
Public bodies post thousands of PDFs online: agendas, budgets, forms and minutes.
Many of those files have no hidden structure, so a blind person using a screen reader can't find their way through them.
A US rule, ADA Title II, says those files must be usable by people with disabilities. The deadlines are fixed:
When the Department of Justice set those dates, it wrote:Advanced technology, such as generative AI, does not yet reliably automate the remediation of inaccessible content at scale(91 FR 20902, at 20907)(opens in new tab).
So the backlog is large, the dates are set, and software alone can't do all of it. We built DocoMatic to do the part that software does well, and to show you the result for every file.
Canadian public bodies use DocoMatic too, in English or French.

Find → fix → prove
What DocoMatic does
DocoMatic does three things, in order.
- Step 1
Finds and checks
It scans your website, finds the PDFs linked from your pages and sitemaps, and reports which ones fail and why. This part is free.
- Step 2
Fixes
It makes a new, corrected copy of each PDF with the hidden structure a screen reader needs:
- headings, reading order and table labels
- image descriptions
- the document's language and title
Your original file isn't changed. You publish the fixed copy in its place.
- Step 3
Proves it
Every fixed file is machine-checked. From Level 2 up, that includes veraPDF. You get a verification report as evidence, and if a file fails its check, you aren't charged for it.
What you pay for
You pay in credits per page. Harder pages cost more.
- Level 1Simple text
- 1 credit per page
- Level 2Tables and multi-column layouts
- 4 credits per page
- Level 3Complex forms
- 30 credits per page
Human review is optional. It adds 10 credits per page at any level: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team. Level 3 includes a reviewer spot-check.
Plans start at $299.00 per month, and every price is published.
Advice is not a fixed file
Why a general AI chat tool isn't enough on its own
General AI chat tools are useful. They can explain an accessibility problem or suggest alt text. But fixing a whole website of PDFs needs four more things.
1.A fixed file, not advice
An accessible PDF has a hidden structure inside the file: tags, reading order, table header cells, embedded fonts, and parts marked as decoration. A chat tool can describe what's wrong, but it doesn't reliably rebuild that structure. That is the gap the Department of Justice described.
2.Scale
A district can have thousands of files, with more added every week. Fixing them one conversation at a time isn't realistic.
3.Proof
You may need to show that your files pass. We run an independent checker and give you a report. A chat answer isn't evidence.
4.Accountability and paperwork
Public bodies buy from a vendor who signs a data agreement, accepts purchase orders and can be held responsible.
We are also plain about what software can't do yet. Low-confidence items, such as machine-written image descriptions, are flagged in each report. Human review is there for the files that need a person.
Checked, published, easy to buy
What we do well
| What we do | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| Proof, not promises: every file is checked, and you aren't charged if it fails | You get evidence, not a claim |
| Published prices | You don't have to call for a quote to find out what it costs |
| A free website scan and public deadline pages | You can see the size of the problem before you talk to anyone |
| Buying paperwork ready: a data processing agreement with student-records (FERPA) terms, security questionnaire answers on request, a W-9, purchase orders and ACH payment | Fewer blockers for your finance and IT offices |
| Ongoing monitoring for new PDFs | New files don't quietly fall out of compliance |
| Plain limits: low-confidence items are flagged in every report | You know which files may need a person |
In short: checked results, published prices, and easy buying for public bodies.
Mostly self-serve
How buying works
It's mostly self-serve, with one human step.
What you can do on your own
- Scan your website for free, with no account. See how many PDFs you have and how many fail.
- Check one PDF for free, with no account.
- Estimate your cost with the pricing calculator.
- Sign up and upload. You get 100 trial credits for 14 days, at Level 1 or Level 2. Upload files, pick a level, and download the fixed files and their reports.
- Try the workbench demo with sample data, without signing up.
- Run your account: invite colleagues, set up monitoring and connections, and request more credits.
No training is needed for the basic flow: upload, fix, download.
The one human step
We check that each new account belongs to a real public body before the trial credits unlock. Sign-ups from recognized government and education email addresses are usually approved right away. Other sign-ups are checked by a person, who replies within one business day. This keeps out abuse and fake accounts.
How you pay
Card payment opens with our billing launch. Today, plans and credits are arranged by quote and paid by purchase order. Invoices are paid by ACH only; we don't take checks or wire transfers. A W-9 is available on request, and we accept tax-exempt certificates. We don't hold a cooperative purchasing contract yet.

The standards we hold ourselves to
A company that sells accessibility has to be accessible. This site targets WCAG 2.1 AA, and our accessibility statement lists known issues in public. We link to the primary source for rules and dates. If a claim here goes further than we can show, tell us and we'll source it or take it down.
