ACCESSIBILITY

Deliver accessible document experiences — without the grind

Nutrient Web SDK ships with WCAG 2.2 AA support, built-in semantics, and screen reader compatibility — so your team doesn’t start from scratch or miss a deal.

Why wait on accessibility when it protects revenue and unlocks new markets?

More than 1 billion people rely on accessible digital experiences. Inaccessible software turns away users, disqualifies vendors from major deals, and invites legal action.

Protect revenue

71 percent of users with disabilities leave inaccessible sites immediately — driving churn and lost conversions. (Click-Away Pound)

Avoid lawsuits

ADA litigation is rising fast, with six‑figure settlements for basic WCAG violations. (WebAIM)

Win major contracts

Enterprise and government RFPs require a VPAT. No proof? No deal.

Stay ahead of regulation

The EU Accessibility Act will enforce WCAG 2.1 AA starting in 2025.

Accessibility built in — not bolted on

Nutrient gives your team accessible-by-default components, WCAG 2.2 AA coverage, and the documentation procurement teams ask for — without slowing you down.

Feature deep dive

Ship accessibility without reinventing the UI

Nutrient handles the hard parts — from screen reader support, to localizable labels and accessible form elements.

Alt text access and validation

Read, write, and validate image descriptions through one API — accelerating WCAG compliance.

Localizable UI strings

Translate every label or tooltip using simple JSON — no rebuilds or redeploys required.

Screen reader–aware components

Get semantic hierarchy, live regions, and built-in labels with no extra configuration.

Accessible forms and signatures

Enable assistive technology users to fill, sign, and submit forms with full event tracking.


Implementation in three simple steps


  1. Install the SDK. Add via npm or CDN.
  2. Drop in the viewer. Ships with WCAG 2.2 AA support enabled by default.
  3. Customize as needed. Use our UI or plug into yours — with full accessibility maintained.
import PSPDFKit from "pspdfkit";
// Obtain a PSPDFKit document instance.
const instance = await PSPDFKit.load({
container: "#pspdfkit",
document: "<document-file-path>",
licenseKey: "<license-key>"
});
console.log("PSPDFKit for Web is ready!");
console.log(instance);

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does the VPAT cover?

The current VPAT 2.5 describes conformance for the UI layer of Nutrient Web SDK. A separate report for PDF content is underway.

Is the VPAT proof you’re 100 percent accessible?

No vendor can promise 100 percent compliance. But our VPAT shows transparent alignment with WCAG 2.2 AA — fully and partially met criteria included.

How do you share your VPAT?

It’s available on our Trust Center with a clickwrap NDA. Sales can help you get fast access.

What about Section 508 and EN 301 549?

Those are covered in our upcoming VPAT update, along with addenda for global regulations.

Do I need React to implement accessibility in Nutrient Web Viewer SDK?

Nutrient Web Viewer SDK supports React, along with most other popular JavaScript frameworks. However, you don’t need to constrain yourself to React to ensure accessibility. Nutrient Web Viewer SDK is accessible regardless of the framework you choose to integrate it with.
