SkynetA11y PDF Remediation

Description

The SkynetA11y PDF Remediation brings PDF Accessibility Remediation for WCAG & PDF/UA Compliance directly into your WordPress admin backend. It is both a PDF Accessibility Checker and an AI Remediation Tool: upload documents or crawl your website for them, let AI repair the accessibility barriers automatically, review every check that was applied, and download conformant files — without leaving your CMS.

It fixes the barriers that make PDFs unusable with assistive technology: missing tags, incorrect reading order, inaccessible forms and tables, images without alternate text, and absent document structure, language and metadata.

It supports compliance with WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, PDF/UA, ADA, Section 508, AODA, and EN 301 549 (EAA). With plain-language explanations and before/after examples for every check, even non-technical users can understand what was fixed and why it mattered.

This plugin is designed for:

  • Businesses of all sizes
  • Enterprises
  • Government and public sector entities
  • Website owners
  • E-commerce platforms
  • Development and maintenance agencies

Why SkynetA11y PDF Remediation?

PDFs are where accessibility compliance quietly fails. A site can pass every page-level audit and still publish hundreds of untagged documents — reports, forms, invoices, policies — that screen readers cannot navigate at all.

Remediating them by hand is slow and expensive. This plugin makes it a routine part of publishing: documents are discovered, repaired and re-checked inside the CMS your team already uses, so accessible PDFs become the default rather than a
project.

Key Features

  • AI PDF Remediation – Automated repair of tags, reading order, alt text, headings, tables and metadata.
  • PDF Accessibility Checker – Every check reported individually, expandable to a plain-language explanation and a before/after example.
  • Upload or Crawl – Add files by drag and drop, add a PDF by URL, or sweep your website for every linked PDF.
  • Free Trial – The free plan covers your first 5 pages; paid plans scale from 50 to 10,000 pages.
  • Bulk Remediation – Select any number of documents and process them in one run, with live progress.
  • Deep Tag Scan – Post-remediation verification against the document’s tag tree, not just its declared metadata.
  • Authenticated Downloads – Remediated files are delivered over an authenticated session, never a public link.
  • Zero Configuration – No settings screen and no API keys to paste; the plugin registers your site automatically on first use.
  • Integration with All in One Accessibility® Dashboard – Plans, usage and billing stay in one place.

External services

This plugin relies on the AI PDF Remediation service operated by Skynet Technologies USA LLC. The plugin cannot check or remediate PDFs without it: the analysis and repair happen on that service, not on your server.

Nothing is sent to either service until an administrator explicitly connects the site from the plugin screen, which lists the exact data (with its real values) that will be shared. Until then the plugin loads no workspace code and makes no request. The consent is recorded on your site as a single option and can be withdrawn at any time with the Disconnect link, after which no further data is sent. It is also removed when the plugin is uninstalled.

1. AI PDF Remediation API — https://livepdfapi.skynettechnologies.us

What it is used for: registering your site’s account, listing and storing your documents, running remediation jobs, reporting the accessibility checks that were applied, and delivering the remediated files.

What is sent, and when:

  • After an administrator has connected the site — when the workspace is opened, and whenever the session token expires — your server sends your site name, your site’s administration email address, your site’s domain, the plan identifier (free) and a fixed country code (US) in order to register or sign in to the account. The service returns a short-lived session token.
  • When you add a PDF, the file itself is sent from your browser to the service, along with that session token. A PDF chosen from the Media Library is read from your own site by your browser and then uploaded the same way; the service is never given access to your Media Library.
  • When you use Website Scan, the domain to crawl is sent so the service can discover PDFs linked from it.
  • When you start remediation, the identifiers of the selected documents are sent; when you download a result, the file is fetched back from the service.

2. All in One Accessibility® Dashboard — https://ada.skynettechnologies.us

What it is used for: nothing is sent automatically. The plugin only builds a sign-in link to this dashboard, used when an administrator clicks “Recommended Plan” to upgrade. Your site’s domain travels in that link when the administrator follows it.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

No. The plugin registers your site with the remediation service the first time an administrator opens the workspace, using your site’s administration email address. There is no key to paste and no settings screen.

Which account do the documents belong to?

The email address you confirm on the connect screen. It is pre-filled with your site’s administration email address (Settings General), and you can enter a different one before connecting. Every administrator on the site then works in that one shared document library. The address is stored with your consent, so changing the administration email later does not switch accounts. To pin the address for a deployment, define SAPR_ACCOUNT_EMAIL in wp-config.php (it then shows read-only on the connect screen), or filter sapr_account_email.

Who can use the workspace?

Administrators (manage_options). The capability is filterable with sapr_capability if you want to hand it to editors. Opening the workspace mints a session that can reach every document on the account, so grant it deliberately.

My staging site registered its own account. Can I point it at the production one?

Yes. Define SAPR_WEBSITE in wp-config.php on the staging copy, set to your production domain, or filter sapr_website.

Is any data sent before I agree?

No. Until an administrator clicks Connect this site, the plugin loads none of the workspace code and makes no request to any external server. The connect screen shows the exact values that will be sent. You can change the account email address on that screen before connecting. You can disconnect at any time; if the site’s domain changes later, you are asked to review and connect again.

Does the plugin store anything in my database?

One option, sapr_service_consent, recording that an administrator connected the site, who, and when. No tables. It is deleted when you disconnect and when the plugin is uninstalled. The session token lives in the administrator’s browser only.

Can I remediate PDFs already in my Media Library?

Yes. Select from Media Library on the Upload tab lists every PDF attachment on the site, with search and paging. Selections carry across pages, and files over 50 MB are shown but cannot be selected. The files are read from your own site by your browser and then uploaded exactly as a dragged file would be — the remediation service is never given access to your Media Library, and your original attachments are never modified or replaced.

Listing the Media Library requires the upload_files capability in addition to the workspace capability.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the free plan covers your first 5 pages. Paid plans scale from 50 to 10,000 pages and are managed in the All in One Accessibility® dashboard.
