Accessibility
PDF Stitch aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. It was reviewed against them by its developer in October 2026, and what the review found was fixed.
What works
- Almost everything can be done with a keyboard, including drawing on pages: Tab steps through the drawings on a page, arrow keys move them, and Enter places the tool in hand at a keyboard pointer.
- Buttons, fields and lists are named for screen readers. What is drawn on a page is read out, and changes made by keyboard are announced.
- Drawings can be moved and resized by tapping buttons as well as by dragging.
- Text and the edges of controls were checked for contrast in the light and dark looks, and the layout is built to work at narrow widths and when zoomed in.
- Shortcuts of a single key can be turned off, for speech input.
- Animations are cut short when your system asks for reduced motion.
What is known not to
- Drawing freehand with the pen needs a pointer, because the drawing is the path the pointer takes.
- The pages themselves are shown as pictures with their text laid over them, so a screen reader reads a PDF's text in the order the file stores it, which is not always the reading order.
- Downloaded PDFs do not keep or add the tags screen readers use to read a PDF in order.
