    ADScan automatically and regularly scans for all
    documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, ePUB, etc.) on
    internal and external websites, and other document repositories,
    and reports comprehensively about the digital accessibility
    status of all identified PDF documents, i.e. about how well they
    meet current digital accessibility standards,
    while identifying all other documents found.

    The comprehensive scan report forms the basis for building
    a successful strategy for digitally accessible documents.

    and remediators, ADScan provides a single page view
    of all document accessibility criteria.

    This allows for planning of a
    document accessibility strategy:

    • how many documents,

    • how many pages,

    • how many tagged, and

    • how many are compliant.

    Once ADScan has been utilized,
    there is sortable data to implement a
    sustainable approach to document accessibility.
