CommonLook PDF

Navigating Complex Challenges in PDF Accessibility Compliance

Addressing accessibility compliance challenges in the PDF industry involves navigating complex standards such as WCAG, PDF/UA, and Section 508. While Adobe Acrobat offers powerful features, it often fails to ensure full PDF accessibility.

Without the right tool, manual remediation is time-consuming and prone to errors. Organizations struggle to build internal capacity and understand accessibility standards. More so, generating comprehensive reports and meeting documentation requirements for authorities like HHS can be daunting, while complex document structures pose validation challenges.
