Partial A web UI and report are buildable, but accurately detecting PDF/UA accessibility issues such as tagging, reading order, and alt text requires deep PDF internals and accessibility-standards knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a PDF parsing library (e.g., PDFBox or pdf.js internals) or an existing checker engine such as veraPDF, with a web front end that highlights issues on the page. The hard part is correctly implementing WCAG and PDF/UA rules against the PDF structure tree, which requires an accessibility specialist to validate results. Trust depends on false-positive and false-negative testing.
