Why it matters: the DOJ’s ADA Title II web rule covers PDFs on state and local government websites. Deadlines: April 26, 2027 for places with 50,000+ people, April 26, 2028 for smaller ones (ada.gov).

This is an automated check of a few common PDF problems, not a full accessibility audit or legal review. Results reflect the scan date shown; the site may have changed since.
