The Moodle Filescan tool checks the accessibility of PDF files in a Moodle class and provides a report on the accessibility of each file. The status is either pass, fail, or check. A PDF file fails if it does not contain any text. A file is marked as "Check" if the file has text but does not have other accessibility elements. A PDF passes if it meets all the accessibility checks.

Has Text
If a PDF file does not "Have Text" it means the file has been scanned as an image and screen readers will not be able to read any text. To fix this problem, use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract the text from the image of the document.
