    How to Fix the Problem

    Invalid PDF - file not readable by WorldSpace Comply

    The file could not be read; some of the reasons this could happen are:

    • The file is corrupted;
    • The file is password protected;
    • The file was created in a PDF format that WorldSpace Comply could not recognize;

    Try and open the file manually to ascertain the reason.

    Why it Matters

    When WorldSpace Comply is unable to process the PDF file, automated accessibility rule conformance cannot be checked.
