What you get

The full EqualWeb PDF Accessibility product, in WordPress

Our official plugin, EqualWeb Accessibility, is in the WordPress plugin directory - search for EqualWeb under Plugins → Add New Plugin in your admin dashboard and install it. Every document gets a 0-100 accessibility score against 80+ PDF/UA and WCAG rules, a detailed report with a permanent link, a legal-priority classification with a full audit trail - and one-click AI remediation that replaces the file in place, so nothing anyone linked, embedded or bookmarked ever breaks.

  • Full admin screens inside WordPress: Documents, Compliance (Analytics + Classification), PDF AI Remediation, Start Auto Remediation, Settings and Permissions
  • Multisite support - every network site scanned and managed separately
  • Permissions tab maps WordPress roles to actions: who can check, who can remediate, who manages settings
  • Works on WordPress 5.8+ with PHP 7.4+ - including managed hosting
  • The EqualWeb accessibility widget is in the same plugin - install and design it from WordPress
Minimum access, maximum transparency

What we see - and what we never see

  • What we get

    The plugin runs inside your site - your data stays in WordPress. Only the document being checked is sent for processing.

  • Who approves

    Your site administrator installs it - like any plugin

  • What we never see

    Nothing else leaves your site - no content, users or settings

Your files are never stored with EqualWeb - a document is processed in the remediation cloud and the result returns to WordPress. Keys and credentials are stored encrypted (AES-256).

How it works

Scan. Score. Prioritize. Remediate in place.

  1. Scan

    The entire Media Library - and every site in a Multisite network, fully separated. Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) are detected too, for accessible conversion.

  2. Score

    Every document is checked against 80+ PDF/UA and WCAG rules and gets a 0-100 score plus a detailed, permanently-linked report.

  3. Prioritize

    Documents are classified by signals from WordPress itself: required for service, public, internal, or archive (pending your confirmation) - so you fix what matters first.

  4. Remediate

    One click sends the document to EqualWeb's AI remediation - tagging, reading order, alt text, metadata - and the accessible file replaces the original in place. The original stays restorable.

FAQ

PDF accessibility in WordPress - common questions

Does the WordPress plugin work on Multisite?
Yes. EqualWeb PDF Accessibility scans every site in a Multisite network, with full separation between sites - each site sees and manages only its own documents.
What does the plugin need to run?
WordPress 5.8 or newer with PHP 7.4 or newer. It installs like any plugin from the WordPress plugin directory - search for EqualWeb under Plugins → Add New Plugin, or download it from wordpress.org/plugins/equalweb and upload it - and works on managed hosting too.
Who controls who can remediate documents?
You do. The Permissions tab maps WordPress roles to actions: checking documents, remediating them (a paid action), and managing settings can each be limited to specific roles.
