PDF Document Accessibility and Remediation Services

PDF Document Accessibility and Remediation Services

PDF Document Accessibility Requires Special Expertise

Unlike many accessibility audits which examine accessibility for websites,
HTML, CSS and JavaScript, our assessment service focus on
the accessibility of documents and forms based on
PDF technology (Portable Document Format).
These PDF documents and forms are often provided for
download from web sites and other online services.

PDF documents come in a vast variety of shapes.
Some documents are simple paragraphs of text.
Others are newsletters, detailed forms, invoices,
scientific publications and much more.

CommonLook Service handles all PDF content in whatever form.
Our experts make sure that every aspect of PDF content handling
is addressed, from artifacts to z-order.
Comprehensive, fully documented results are delivered
through CommonLook's structured methodology and technology.
