About PAVE
With PAVE you make your PDF documents barrier-free so that you can correctly interpret common reading programs. The visual representation of your PDF remains unchanged. Makes it available free of charge for personal use. PAVE makes the automatically executable corrections directly. Simply carry out the remaining correction suggestions in PAVE yourself. The PDF document remains stored on the PAVE server for a maximum of 3 weeks if you do not delete it manually beforehand. Despite all care, content or visual changes to the document cannot be completely ruled out by processing with PAVE. It is up to the user to check the generated PDF documents. The ZHAW assumes no liability. The ICT accessibility lab has previously developed plugins for creating accessible PDF documents from MS Word and MS PowerPoint, but with which you cannot make existing PDF documents barrier-free. This gap is now closed with PAVE.
