Procedure
Step by step
Open Start new work
From the dashboard, go to the upload area. If you selected a folder first, new documents are placed in that folder.
Select or drop files
Choose one or more PDF or DOCX files. The browser shows each file's queued, uploading, completed, or failed state.
Wait for a terminal result
The private original is validated and queued for isolated processing. The document page updates when the job succeeds or fails.
Review the generated version
Open the document to inspect its score, machine-detectable findings, unresolved manual checks, hosted HTML, rebuilt tagged PDF, and audit report.
Outputs and their purpose
Hosted HTML is responsive, editable, and usually the strongest reading experience. The rebuilt tagged PDF is intended for offline use and may reflow or simplify the original layout.
- The original file remains private storage input.
- Each completed run creates an immutable version.
- The audit report records automated evidence, not certification.
If an upload is rejected
Check the real file type, file size, remaining monthly allowance, and whether the current plan includes automated remediation. A renamed or damaged file can fail content validation even when its extension looks correct.
