About CommonLook PDF Validator

CommonLook PDF Validator is a free Adobe Acrobat plugin by Allyant that tests and verifies PDF documents for accessibility compliance. It helps users identify issues to ensure their PDFs meet standards like WCAG and PDF/UA.

CommonLook PDF Validator is a specialized tool from Allyant designed to ensure PDF documents are accessible to people with disabilities. It operates as a free plugin within Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro, version X or higher) on Windows operating systems. The primary function is to test and verify PDF files against accessibility standards such as WCAG and PDF/UA. It identifies compliance issues, allowing creators and organizations to remediate their documents. The tool is part of Allyant's broader CommonLook Accessibility Suite, which includes more advanced remediation tools and services. As a free checker, it does not offer paid plans or a free trial, but serves as an entry point to Allyant's accessibility ecosystem. Support is available through a knowledge base and contact form.
