We felt the same, and that's precisely why we built this tool! The key, as you mentioned, is fidelity, especially for designing complex layouts. We hope to bring something new and valuable to the table. And yes, documents are central to many industries including government, legal, banking etc.

Can you directly answer whether your tool generates tagged PDFs?

Of course, you can't guarantee that the resulting document is 100% compliant because you can't enforce that the input is valid, but are you at least outputting a complete tag tree with as much semantics as possible given the input?

Yes, Onedoc generates tagged PDFs as long as you add a `title` property to the API call to make the PDF UA/1 compliant.

pdfHTML from iText does it (you can create PDF/UA-1, PDF/UA-2, and PDF/A documents from it), without using any external engine. You can even add your custom processing.
