What CommonLook PDF is

CommonLook PDF helps organizations remediate PDFs for accessibility and compliance. Users can choose an advanced editor or a simplified one based on their experience and document complexity. AI-driven tagging supports tables, lists, forms, and other document elements; manual tagging tools and a Fix Wizard help review and correct issues. The software provides PDF tagging, reading-order, and alternative-text tools, and supports validation against WCAG, PDF/UA, and HHS standards. It can create bookmarks from document headings and provide a downloadable Validation Report showing passed, failed, and warning issues for an accessible PDF. A system of record tracks remediation history, lets users remove older files, and supports downloading remediated PDFs with their reports. The desktop version is an on-premises plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro or Pro DC. Allyant offers live and on-demand training and a CommonLook Knowledge Base. The product is designed for users of every ability and organizations addressing requirements such as Section 508, ADA Title II, and the EAA. Allyant cautions that automated remediation alone may not make complex or variable content accessible and compliant, so manual review may be needed. Pricing is available on request, and a 7-day trial is listed.
