Once we take libraries into consideration, PDFlib is another option - they have offered PDF/UA support for a while now and have been able to create accessible tagged PDF for a few years.

As it is a very flexible and powerful programming library, the quality of its output mostly depend on how it is used. On the syntax level, it does a perfect job.

PDFlib can be deployed on just about any server platform, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Sun, AIX and a few more. It's written in C/C++, and a lot of bindings for other language are provided, including the likes of Java, PHP, etc.


Extensive documentation can be found on their website:
