PDF Accessibility Index:
2025-2026 Benchmark Report

A first-of-its kind, cross-industry analysis of public-facing PDF accessibility.

PDFs are one of the most widely used formats in the digital world—yet one of the most overlooked barriers to accessibility. To establish a true market baseline on the state of public-facing PDF accessibility, Allyant analyzed more than 15 million pages, tested against WCAG 2.2 standards. And the results reveal a systemic problem—nearly 95% of PDFs are inaccessible.  

The results are captured in our first-ever PDF Accessibility Index.

In this benchmark report, you’ll get:

  • The current state of PDF accessibility across key industry sectors.
