FAQs
What is PDF Landscape detection?
PDF Landscape detection is the process of identifying PDF documents across your website to build a complete inventory of content that may require remediation.
How does PDF Landscape detection work?
Recite Me Remediator uses a website crawl to detect PDF documents, identifying links and references across your pages. These documents are then compiled into a centralised view, giving you visibility of your overall PDF landscape.
What is meant by a “PDF landscape”?
Your PDF landscape refers to the full collection of PDF documents associated with your website, including those detected through a crawl as well as documents uploaded directly into Recite Me Remediator.
Why is it important to identify your PDF landscape?
Understanding your PDF landscape allows you to:
- Identify accessibility gaps
- Prioritise remediation efforts
- Focus on high impact or high traffic documents
- Ensure broader compliance coverage
Can documents be added manually?
Yes, in addition to automated detection through a crawl, documents can also be uploaded directly into Recite Me Remediator and included in your PDF landscape.
Does PDF Landscape detection include archived documents?
Yes, it can include archived or less visible documents, helping ensure no content is overlooked when assessing accessibility.
What happens after PDFs are detected?
Once identified, PDFs are added to Recite Me Remediator, where they can be reviewed, prioritised, and converted into accessible PDF versions as well as additional formats such as HTML.
Can newly added PDFs be detected automatically?
Yes, quarterly crawls identify new PDFs as they are added to your website, helping keep your landscape up to date.
How does this differ from Intercept?
PDF Landscape detection identifies documents through a crawl, while Intercept identifies documents based on real user interactions such as impressions and clicks.
Can PDF Landscape detection and Intercept be used together?
Yes, they complement each other. Landscape detection provides a broad view of all documents, while Intercept helps prioritise based on actual user engagement.
How does this help prioritisation?
By combining detected documents with user behaviour data, you can focus remediation efforts on the documents that matter most to users.
Where can I view my PDF landscape?
Your PDF landscape is available within Recite Me Remediator, where documents are organised and can be filtered, grouped, and prioritised for remediation.
Does this support large or enterprise websites?
Yes, PDF Landscape detection is designed to scale, making it suitable for organisations with large volumes of documents across multiple domains.
