SiteImprove PDF Crawl Deflates QA Score #247

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. PDF file uploads cause the SiteImprove Quality Assurance score to be lower if the PDF has not been updated in 3 or more years. For certain PDFs that do not get updated frequently, like regulations, this means the QA score is artificially deflated.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow editors to exclude certain PDFs from the "Documents in need of updating" list in SiteImprove.

Our SiteImprove account only had capacity to scan a limited number of PDF files. This also slowed down our crawls to an unmanagable level. We have eliminated SiteImprove scans of PDFs and will look for another way to do bulk scanning of PDFs.
