How Does it Work?

This plugin will find PDFs across your Moodle instance, then scan them for accessibility. The plugin scans for the following:

  1. Does the PDF has OCR'd text?
  2. Is the PDF tagged?
  3. Does the PDF have a language?
  4. Does the PDF have a title?
  5. Page count

PDFs are scanned at intervals in accordance to Moodle's cron system and results are stored in the plugin's database table.
