sitebrunch PDF editor vs. Canva

Canva is a design tool, but it is not built for accessible PDFs. PDFs from Canva do not meet PDF/UA. The reading order follows the layers, and Canva’s accessibility check only covers typography, contrast and alt text. The sitebrunch PDF editor is built for accessible PDFs from the ground up.
