- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to check PDF files for accessibility, as they’re uploaded to your Drupal site? There’s a module for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in Feb 2026 by Joshua Mitchell (joshuami), a friend of this podcast
- Versions available: 1.0.1, which works with Drupal 10.2 and 11
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Security coverage in process
- Test coverage
- Number of open issues: none
- Usage stats:
- 0 sites
- Module features and usage
- With the PDFa11y module installed, you can set its configuration, including whether to enable or disable automatic checking on upload, whether to block uploads that fail checks or just show warnings, a minimum PDF version requirement, and which accessibility checks to run
- The module also sets creates three new permissions, Administer PDF accessibility settings, Run PDF accessibility checks, and View PDF accessibility report
- Each PDF media item has an "Accessibility" tab where anyone with the necessary permissions can view the check results
- Under the hood PDFa11y uses the smalot/pdfparser library to extract data from PDF files
- Many sites rely on PDFs to make available content that they aren’t able to migrate directly into Drupal content, so making sure that doesn’t introduce its own accessibility regressions is an important step
