Tackling PDF Sprawl: Continuous Content Assessment and Visitor-Focused Delivery for Sustainable Compliance

PDF backlogs have become one of the biggest barriers to digital compliance. Years of publishing have left organizations with thousands of documents that are hard to track, slow to assess, and expensive to fix. What began as a simple way to share reports and forms has become a significant compliance burden. Most teams know many of these PDFs are inaccessible, out of date, duplicated, or impossible to track. What they often don’t know is the true scale of the issue, the risks hidden inside it, or how to bring it under control without overwhelming their resources.

Meanwhile, accessibility expectations have changed. Regulations in the US, UK, EU, and beyond now treat PDFs exactly like web pages, requiring them to meet the same accessibility standards and making organizations directly responsible for every document they publish. Manual remediation and one-off audits can no longer keep pace with the volume, the deadlines, or the ongoing nature of compliance. The result is a growing gap between what regulators expect and what teams can realistically deliver using traditional methods.

This whitepaper explains why traditional, manual approaches cannot keep pace with the scale of modern PDF estates and why automation and continuous oversight are now essential. AI-supported assessment and visitor-focused delivery tools can find, analyze, and improve large PDF estates in minutes rather than months. While they don’t replace compliance, they make content more usable in real time. Instead of removing content to avoid risk, organizations can maintain transparency, improve user experience, and prioritize their effort where it matters most.

If you need a deeper understanding of the problem, the risks, and the practical steps to bring large PDF libraries under control, the following pages provide a clear, technology-led pathway to sustainable compliance and better user experience.
