CommonLook Office

CommonLook® Office is a breakthrough in Accessible document creation. With CommonLook Office, any user can create accessible, Section 508 compliant PDF documents directly from Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and soon, Microsoft PowerPoint as well. 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. It’s as easy as spell check.

"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."

- Peter Abrahams,
Practice Leader - Accessibility and Usability, Bloor Research
