Equalify Iris for WordPress

A WordPress multisite plugin that gives every PDF on the network an accessible HTML version, automatically, using Equalify Iris.

A screen reader user clicks a PDF link and often finds nothing usable. This plugin finds the PDFs linked from published pages across the network, converts them, publishes the result as a real web page, and adds a small icon next to every PDF link that opens it. Editors do nothing and never see the plugin. One super admin turns it on once, from the network dashboard.

Two things to know before pointing this at real content

• PDFs over 25 pages or 50 MB are not converted. Those are Equalify Iris's limits. The plugin

detects them before uploading, says so in the dashboard, and does not pretend otherwise.

• Equalify Iris reports conversion problems as public GitHub issues, which can include extracts

of the document. This cannot be turned off. Do not point this plugin at confidential documents.
