CommonLook PDF (formerly PDF GlobalAccess)
is the industry-leading software tool that enables teams to
rapidly test, repair, and report on accessible PDF documents.

It simplifies and accelerates the remediation process,
to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.



CommonLook PDF simplifies the remediation of PDF files
so that they’re accessible to people with disabilities.

    CommonLook PDF is the remediator’s tool for fixing PDF documents.
    While there is a lot of automation built in,
    there are still checkpoints that need to be manually addressed.

    Fortunately, CommonLook PDF takes the user through all of those
    items in the document so that these issues are addressed,
    and the PDF is accessible.

    If you have lots of poorly or untagged PDF documents
    CommonLook PDF is your fastest path to accessible content.


    Accessibility remediation with
    Adobe Acrobat or CommonLook PDF?

    CommonLook PDF plugin enhances native accessibility
    remeditation capabilities and features of
    Adobe Acrobat Professional and Standard.

    Acrobat doesn’t test for conformance against all globally recognized
    accessibility standards while CommonLook PDF tests against
    ISO PDF/UA, W3C/WCAG 2.0 AA / 2.1 AA, U.S. Section 508 and U.S. HHS.

    As more and more individuals and organizations strive to be more
    socially responsible and to comply with various accessibility standards
    and disability laws and regulations, CommonLook PDF serves as an
    essential tool in that pursuit.

    This is true primarily for two reasons:

    • CommonLook PDF greatly reduces the time and effort required to
      turn an inaccessible PDF file into one that can be used by persons
      with disabilities such as blindness, low vision, and limited mobility.

    • CommonLook PDF measures the compliance of PDF files against
      the checkpoints set forth by a number of authoritative
      accessibility standards such as ISO PDF/UA, W3C/WCAG 2.0/2.1,
      U.S. Section 508, and U.S. HHS.

      By validating against the primary globally recognized standards
      established for document and PDF content accessibility,
      CommonLook PDF provides you with the means of ensuring your
      content can be produced in a manner that is likely to be acceptable
      to the regulatory jurisdiction governing your content.
