CIB ridmi enables the automatic conversion of non-accessible documents and scans to the PDF/UA standard.
Accessible PDFs are no longer a niche topic. Public agencies, companies, and organizations are increasingly faced with the task of making large volumes of existing documents accessible. This is exactly where CIB ridmi comes in: with AI-powered analysis, automatic structuring and the goal of generating barrier-free or PDF/UA-compliant documents from unstructured PDFs as efficiently as possible. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
CIB ridmi uses a set of seven specialized machine learning models to correctly identify, interpret, and structure all elements of a document. These include models for recognizing headers and footers, lists, text hierarchies, and other elements that directly affect the final accessibility.
Clear structural recognition
The AI reliably recognizes lists, headings, and hierarchies.
Automatic headers/footers
Recognizes recurring headers and footers.
Clean content separation
The main content is clearly separated from the rest.
Image-to-text
Images are automatically replaced with accessible text descriptions.
The output generated by CIB ridmi achieves a “green” rating in the PAC PDF/UA Validator, ensuring compliance with the international standards PDF/UA and WCAG 2.1. This guarantees genuine, verifiable, and externally auditable accessibility.
CIB ridmi enables companies and public institutions to meet the legal requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2019/882 on digital accessibility. Full automation of the process reduces adaptation costs and ensures technical consistency.
CIB ridmi is available as a fully hosted cloud service where you can easily upload your documents, or as an on-premises installation on your own infrastructure—choose the model that best fits your data storage and IT environment needs.
Documents are transmitted in encrypted form, processed automatically, and are then available for you to download without any barriers. No local installation required; ready to use immediately.
A local installation—for example, as a container deployment, a dedicated server, or similar—is possible.
Minimum requirements for on-premises operation: CPU cores, RAM, GPU, and storage requirements, scaled according to document volume. We would be happy to discuss the hardware requirements for your specific use case in a one-on-one meeting.
CIB ridmi also automatically processes large volumes of documents in the background—without any manual steps. Using [an API connection / a batch upload mechanism], documents can be submitted in batches and converted fully automatically into accessible PDF/UA files.
data processing outside their own infrastructure is often prohibited—CIB ridmi offers the option of fully on-premises operation and an EU hosting option with processing exclusively in German/European data centers. This ensures that your documents remain entirely within your control and compliance framework—while maintaining consistent AI-powered automation.
CIB ridmi is the result of close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
The project was supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research , which strengthened its scientific and technological basis as well as its long-term reliability.
To adapt AIs to the special requirements of the German language, we train them on an extensive German-language data set. The resulting AI models are tested by blind and visually impaired people.
In combination with CIB doXisafe app and the AI OCR software solution CIB deepER>, texts are extracted from images and prepared in an accessible way.
We use intelligent algorithms to automatize repetitive tasks, freeing time and resources. The synergy between AI and digitalization enables us to work more efficiently, increasing productivity and driving innovation.
Integrate CIB AI into your software and offer your customers even more efficient solutions.

The hardware requirements depend directly on the desired throughput and will be determined on a case-by-case basis during the consultation. CIB ridmi does not require a GPU in batch mode.
A documented interface for back-office processing is available. The software is fully scalable, with no volume or rate limits.
On an individual basis, by arrangement, and depending on requirements.
