I just released pdf-crawler, a tool to audit PDF accessibility at scale!

This is a direct "remix" of the brilliant work by the Luxembourg government's #accessibility team & their #simplA11yPDFCrawler - it’s a testament to the power of #OpenSource: a tool built for one #gov can be adapted to help everyone.

I relied heavily on #AI to refactoring the original tech into this GitHub-based scanner. It’s a great example of using AI to amplify good.

Thank you @AccessibilityLUAccessibility Luxembourg for sharing your work!
