Your Government Website Has a PDF Problem. WPPersona Solves It Before Citizens Find It First.
The average government website hosts 200–5,000 PDF documents. Most were never accessibility-tagged. Under DOJ's ADA Title II rule, every one is a compliance liability. WPPersona's PDF engine is the only solution in the government CMS market that addresses this natively · at upload, before the document reaches a citizen.
You Don't Have a Few Inaccessible PDFs. You Have Hundreds.
Government document archives accumulate over decades. Budget reports from 2009. Meeting minutes from 2015. Forms re-exported in 2018 from a system that never supported PDF/UA. Each year's staff uploads files in whatever format was convenient. The result is a document library where the majority of PDFs fail at least one accessibility criterion · and most agencies don't know which ones, or how many.
No accessibility tags
The document has no structural tags · screen readers cannot parse headings, lists, or reading order.
Scanned image files
The PDF is a photograph of a document. It contains no machine-readable text whatsoever.
Missing document title metadata
Assistive technology cannot identify the document when the title field is blank or incorrect.
No language declaration
Translation tools and screen readers fail to process documents without a declared language.
PDF version below 1.4
The file format predates tag support · accessibility compliance is structurally impossible.
Missing navigation bookmarks
Users cannot navigate long documents without bookmarks · every page requires manual scrolling.
PDF Compliance Intelligence · Built Into Every Upload
WPPersona doesn't require a separate tool, a manual scan step, or an external vendor. The compliance pipeline runs automatically, every time a document is added.
Upload
The moment a PDF is uploaded to WPPersona, it is scanned within seconds. The engine extracts accessibility signals from the document structure.
Score
A 0–100 risk score is calculated across five dimensions: tag structure, document type, metadata, PDF version, and logical reading order.
Surface
A color-coded risk badge (red / yellow / green) is attached to the document and made visible throughout every editor workflow.
Remediate
Plain-language fix instructions are shown to editors: "Re-export with PDF/UA tagging enabled" · not jargon, not a spec reference.
Monitor
A compliance dashboard shows every PDF on the site, filterable by risk level, department, and document age · so nothing falls through the cracks.
Risk Score Thresholds
High Risk · 45+
Action required before publishing. Document blocked from going live.
Medium Risk · 20–44
Review recommended. Document can publish with reviewer acknowledgment.
Low Risk · Below 20
Cleared for publishing. No accessibility barriers detected.
