February 19 – PDF Scanning
PDF Scanning is now available in Pope Tech! PDF Scanning (Powered by Grackle) uses the PDF/UA standard for testing.
With PDF Scanning, Pope Tech identifies PDFs that have issues and the types of issues they have.
Before, you’d have to open a separate PDF remediation tool, like Adobe Acrobat Pro, to know what accessibility issues a PDF has. Now, you can get a detailed snapshot right in Pope Tech, making it easier to:
- Inventory PDFs on your websites.
- Understand the best way to fix the PDF (remove if out of date, update, or convert to HTML webpage).
- Prioritize PDFs that have the most critical issues.

PDF Scanning is in beta and is available as an add-on. Contact your account representative or support for pricing details.
January 31 โ Scan Time to Live (TTL) Feature
Added a new field to schedule scan options. The TTL (Days) field determines whether or not the scheduled scan uses an existing scan or starts a new one.
For example, if your TTL is set to 7 days, the scheduled scan will re-use the scan data from a scan completed within the past 7 days.
This helps limit unnecessary scans, improving scan times.
