    ABOUT THE PANEL YOU JUST CLICKED.

    The original PDF or the inclusive webpage version.

    Hello !

    Welcome, looks like you clicked the info icon on a panel that offers the original PDF or a converted web version. Our really wonderful client whose site you were on has chosen to make their documents readable for people using screen readers, mobile, or keyboard, and for the AI systems that increasingly read on their behalf.

    AI readiness. The outside-in view.

    Digital leaders agree.

    92%* of digital leaders name the unmapped landscape and uncontrolled PDFs as a top-three recognised challenge for their organisation.

    PDFs sit outside the workflows that govern web content, so years of material stays hard for people to use and hard for AI to interpret. That is now a visibility, accessibility and representation issue.

    * Sitemorse Digital Leaders surveys, 2021, 2023 and 2025. Combined sample of senior digital, communications and accessibility leads across public and regulated sectors, ranking their top operational challenges.

    Why this organisation adopted aicm

    Three headaches that come with a site full of PDFs.

    The unknown digital landscape

    Most organisations do not know how many PDFs sit across their websites, where they came from, or what state they are in.

    Built in many tools, to many standards

    PDFs are authored individually over many years, in different tools, by different people. Locating and verifying them is costly on its own.

    The impact on AI, and on readers

    Unread PDFs create accessibility gaps for people and misrepresentation or hallucination risk for AI. Both are avoidable.

    How aicm works

    Discovery, cataloguing, conversion. Inclusion for people and AI.

    1. 01

      Discovery

      aicm finds every PDF linked from, or hosted on, the organisation's websites. Nothing is skipped, nothing is guessed.

    2. 02

      Cataloguing

      Each document is catalogued with its metadata, so the organisation has a live inventory of what it is publishing.

    3. 03

      Conversion

      PDFs are converted into accessible web versions that screen readers, AI LLMs and agents can read reliably.

    4. 04

      Inclusion for people

      Readers using assistive technology, mobile, or keyboard reach the content in a form that works with their tools.

    5. 05

      Inclusion for AI

      LLMs and agents see structured, readable content, so the organisation is represented accurately, not hallucinated.
