CommonLook® Office is a breakthrough in easy-to-use accessible document creation, making accessibility an integral part of the authoring process. As easy as spell-check, the CommonLook Office PDF Accessibility Wizard drives huge improvements to the quality and quantity of accessible information.
With CommonLook Office, any user can create accessible, Section 508 compliant PDF documents directly from Microsoft's Word and (coming soon!) PowePoint applications.
No prior knowledge of accessibility or Section 508 is required. CommonLook Office presents simple-to-understand instructions to guide the user through every accessibility checkpoint relevant to the document they have open.
"The author should see this [adding accessibility to the Word document] as a normal part of the process rather than an extra, and potentially unexpected, workload and distraction.
By making the process much easier and less stressful, CommonLook Office should make the creation of accessible PDF business-as-usual for any Word document. It eliminates any excuses of time, deadlines or complexity that have been used for not creating accessible PDF up to now."
