I use axesPDF QuickFix along side Acrobat Pro DC when I remediate PDF
files. I think it is a good time-saving tool that makes certain tasks
easier and quicker than trying to do everything using only Acrobat Pro.

AxesPDF QuickFix has its own interface for editing tags in PDFs as well
as offering a few "one-click" fixes to resolve common issues. They list
the features on their website:

You can download a free trial version to test it out:

I have axesPDF but there are no tutorials in English. I found some in
Finnish but they are for the axesPDF add-in for Word and basically just tell
you how to make Word documents accessible.

I've been trying to figure out how to use axesPDF and so far have had no
luck. I do have a visual disability but am not relying on adaptive
technology for the user interface.

I've heard it is a good tool, but with no tutorials available, I found it a
high learning curve, even with what I know about accessible PDF.

I was going to write tutorials on how to use it but my e-mails to axesPDF
asking for help in understanding the user interface have gone unanswered for
about a year now and their support pages are scarce in terms of usable
information.

If anyone has tutorials on how to use axesPDF, please let me know. I hate
having tools I should be able to use but can't.

Cheers, Karen

Ha! Yes, I have to agree that figuring out how to use AxesPDF is a high
learning curve. I learned to use it largely through trial and error. But
I also found some hints from the AxesPDF QuickFix section of their Help
Centre:
https://support.axes4.com/hc/en-us/categories/200116848-axesPDF-QuickFix

I have found the company to be reasonably responsive when I use the
"Submit a request" feature on their support site for registered users,
so you might try getting support that way instead of via email?

I think that their main development team probably works in German and
materials are probably prepared in German first and then later
translated into English. In some cases, they may not translate materials
into English at all. I can read German more or less, and at one point I
was sent a draft of a part of a user guide in German for their AxesPDF
for Word plugin which I found helpful. I think they now have a draft of
a user guide for the AxesPDF for Word plugin in English. But I haven't
seen a user guide for the AxesPDF QuickFix tool - for that I think they
just have the Help Centre website above?

When I was learning how to use it, I started simply by using the Checker
tab and running the checker to find errors. Then I would search up
individual errors on their website to see how to resolve them. Their
website is organized in a way that allows you to search for solutions to
many of the checker errors here:
https://support.axes4.com/hc/en-us/sections/200327928-Fixing-PDF-UA-problems

Following this approach I eventually learned how to use most of the
features of the software. Though after two years, there are still a few
features that I don't quick know what they do, or how exactly they are
supposed to work (!). So they definitely could do with some better
documentation.

I was also thinking about making some tutorials for using axesPDF in
conjunction with some tips on how to remediate PDFs generally. But I've
not gotten around to it.

There's one conceptual tip that I've not seen highlighted but that I
think might help folks understand where QuickFix might fit in an
efficient PDF remediation workflow. Using AxesPDF QuickFix actually
involves going back and forth between AxesPDF QuickFix and Acrobat
Professional DC. To edit tag names and properties and to do bulk tag
editing, I use AxesPDF QuickFix. But if you need to insert new tags or
move tags into a different order, then you have to go back to Acrobat
Pro to do that. So I always start out with Acrobat Pro and I do the main
tagging and the ordering of tags. From there it is a process of going
back and forth from AxesPDF QuickFix to Acrobat Pro based on which tool
does the thing I need fastest. Whenever you need to insert new tags or
move tags into a different order,  you have to use Acrobat Pro.

Phil.

I just found the Quick Start Guide for axesPDF QuickFix as well as a
guide on how to use their table editor on the German side of the Axes4
website. The QuickStart Guide looks quite detailed (119 pages), but I've
not seen it anywhere in English:
https://www.axes4.com/anleitungen-axespdf-quickfix.html

I'll reach out to the company and see if they have anything to add to
the discussion regarding English help for users.

Yes, it isn't quite right, but close. From what I saw a while back,
they were doing a lot on their website instead of a manual, in terms
of the English language.

I just found the Quick Start Guide for axesPDF QuickFix as well as a guide on how to use their table editor on the German side of the Axes4 website. The QuickStart Guide looks quite detailed (119 pages), but I've not seen it anywhere in English:
https://www.axes4.com/anleitungen-axespdf-quickfix.html

I'll reach out to the company and see if they have anything to add to the discussion regarding English help for users.
