What's included?

CommonLook professional services provide true confidence: the CommonLook Report, a cast-iron guarantee of compliance with Section 508 or other standards as may be applicable.

Our approach addresses each and every aspect of PDF content handling, from artifacts to z-order, in a completely structured and  methodical manner. CommonLook allows us to deliver comprehensive, fully documented results.

Our PDF Remediation service includes the following:

• Run CommonLook PDF on each document, identify and fix accessibility problems.
• Identify and correctly handle scanned documents (OCR, complete OCR correction and tagging)
• Review and correct the logical structure of the file, including verification of tabbing order.
• Check and correct tables, including proper tagging of complex tables using Linked Headers or logically redesigning the tables if necessary without changing the physical view.
• Review alternative text, provide if necessary.
• Correctly mark heading, lists, references, footnotes, endnotes and Tables of Contents. 
  NOTE: While a best-practice, these CommonLook checkpoints exceed current Section 508 requirements
• Fix Content Order view to enhance usage on mobile devices or others that are unaware of PDF tags.
  NOTE: While a best-practice, these CommonLook checkpoints exceed current Section 508 requirements 
• Review Scripts; verify and fix inaccessible script functionality (for example functionality dependent on the mouse).
• Review form elements. Fix known accessibility issues with radio buttons
• Optionally, convert “Print then Fill” forms to “Fill and Print” forms.
• Properly tag callouts and other annotations, including links.
• Test each document with at least one type of tags-aware assistive technology.
• Ensure the document passes Adobe's Acrobat Accessibility Checker.
• Generate a CommonLook Section 508 conformance certificate.
