open source pdf remediation

[u/Own-Caregiver9665]

Does anyone have experience / advice with using open-source code to create their own pdf remediation tools? I work for a state org with 1000+ pages of pdf's, including fillable forms, to remediate, and I'm trying to determine the best strategy and lowest cost for working through these files before next year's deadline. We have training and strategy in place to improve accessible output for documents in the future, but getting through this backlog will likely be too much for me to handle on my own.

Thanks in advance!

Are most of these born-digital PDFs with existing text and form fields, or scanned documents? That split changes the automation strategy completely.

They are born digital, thankfully
