PDF accessibility inside Moodle - and Open LMS

Moodle + Open LMS

Turn every PDF in your courses into an accessible document. EqualWeb finds the PDF files across your site, gives each one an accessibility score of 0-100 against the PDF/UA standard, and links a detailed report that points to every issue - so instructors and administrators know exactly what to fix. Checks are free within a daily quota, and AI remediation fixes and replaces inaccessible files in one click.

• Automatic discovery of every PDF - checked from a single dashboard
• A 0-100 PDF/UA score for every file, plus a detailed report
• Instructor view per course · admin dashboard for the whole site
• Free accessibility checks - no account and no API key needed, within a daily quota
• One-click AI remediation - fixes and replaces inaccessible files
• Supports every currently supported Moodle release - 4.5 (LTS), 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2, including the new 5.1 directory structure
• Works on self-hosted Moodle and on managed Open LMS - exactly the same plugin
• Available to download and install directly, with automatic updates

Open LMS is a managed Moodle service - the same plugin runs there. Open LMS customers add it through Open LMS support.

The full EqualWeb PDF Accessibility product, in Moodle

An admin tool plugin for every supported Moodle release - 4.5 (LTS), 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 - and for Open LMS, which runs on Moodle. 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.

• An "active learning material" category built for education: a visible course plus a visible activity means high priority
• Aligned with the legal reality for education: materials behind login are covered too - current-use is the legal line, not public visibility
• Course- and folder-level tagging so academic staff can mark what is service-critical
• Managed through a Moodle admin capability

• What we get

  The plugin runs inside your Moodle - course files stay where they are. Only the document being checked is sent for processing.

• Who approves

  Your Moodle administrator installs it

• What we never see

  No student data, grades or course content beyond the files being checked

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

1. Scan

   The files of all courses across your Moodle instance. 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 Moodle 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.
