A browser extension that rebuilds PDFs as navigable HTML, with headings, lists, tables and links.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.

For: PDF readers using assistive or keyboard navigation
Worth noticing: It keeps author-written tags distinct from inferred structure, and labels OCR and AI-generated image descriptions at the point of use.

Field notes

The Reader can use structure tags embedded by a PDF’s author or infer structure when those tags are absent, with a switch to compare the two. The page says OCR and image descriptions run on Chrome’s on-device model and are labelled as machine-generated; it also distinguishes missing image descriptions from generated ones. A Firefox listing is not yet available, though the page says a build can be loaded from source.
