Accessibility Statement
Languages: Suomi · Svenska · English
This accessibility statement applies to the digital service PDF Taituri (at pdf.koukku.ai). The statement has been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services (306/2019). The service is provided by Koukku Kapital Oy (Business ID 3331246-5, P.O. Box 3, 20201 Turku, Finland).
1. Accessibility status
The service largely meets the WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria (which also covers the WCAG 2.1 level required by the Digital Services Act). The service has known minor shortcomings, listed in section 2, which are being fixed.
The service's accessibility has been improved systematically: keyboard operability, a visible focus indicator, sufficient colour contrast (WCAG 1.4.3), a skip-to-content link, programmatic labels for form fields, and support for reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion) have been implemented. In July 2026 the service was updated to the WCAG 2.2 criteria: the dragging operations in the tool views received button and keyboard alternatives (WCAG 2.5.7), the minimum size of touch targets was raised to 24×24 pixels (WCAG 2.5.8), focus visibility under the sticky header was ensured (WCAG 2.4.11), and a contact channel was placed consistently in the footer of the tool views (WCAG 3.2.6). Because all file processing happens on the user's own device in the browser, the service does not transfer the user's material anywhere.
2. Non-accessible content (known shortcomings)
The following content is not yet fully accessible. The shortcomings are minor and do not prevent using the service. They will be fixed in upcoming updates:
- Comment annotations in the reader (note, line, arrow, highlight) can only be moved by dragging with a mouse or touch; a keyboard alternative is not yet available (WCAG 2.5.7). Creating, selecting and deleting annotations works with the keyboard.
- Some tools' error and confirmation messages use the browser's native dialogs, which will be replaced with accessible in-page notifications (WCAG 4.1.3).
- Screen-reader labels for a few less-used action buttons are being completed (WCAG 4.1.2).
- Focus order and status messages for the advanced settings of some PDF tools are being fine-tuned for screen-reader use (WCAG 1.3.1).
3. How this statement was prepared
This statement was prepared on 1 July 2026 and last updated on 16 August 2026 (assessment method itemised; supervisory authority contact details 6 August 2026; WCAG 2.2 update 12 July 2026). The accessibility assessment is based on the service provider's self-assessment. The method has two parts that cover different things, so they are stated separately rather than as one sentence.
Machine-verified (automated, on every release)
The axe-core rule engine runs as part of the release gate with the rule sets
wcag2a, wcag2aa, wcag21a, wcag21aa,
wcag22a and wcag22aa. Coverage: all 49 tool views
in both interface shells (browser and desktop), 17 other views in both
shells, the front page, the command palette and the separate information pages. A single
detected violation blocks the release — this is a gate, not a report.
Automated testing cannot decide every WCAG criterion. The rule engine can establish that an image has a text alternative, but not whether that alternative is meaningful; that a page has a heading structure, but not whether the order is logical; that an error message is exposed programmatically, but not whether it is understandable. Those criteria are left to human assessment, so a green automated run alone does not mean conformance.
Human-verified (manual)
The service provider has tested the service using the keyboard alone and with a screen reader. Manual assessment covers in particular the criteria the rule engine cannot decide: whether the focus order is logical, whether text alternatives and labels are meaningful, whether messages are understandable, and whether workflows can be completed without a mouse. The shortcomings listed in section 2 are mostly findings from this assessment — automated testing would not have found them.
Manual assessment is carried out in connection with significant changes, not on every release. The statement is updated as shortcomings are fixed.
