CommonLook PDF Update News

Version 4.0: Lots of New Features

CommonLook PDF logo.If you've still using an older version of CommonLook PDF it's time to upgrade! Version 4.0 streamlines and simplifies the process of Section 508 verification and remediation with some very powerful new features!

Automatic Verification

A new menu item ("Verify and Remediate") has been added to the main CommonLook PDF plug-in menu. When a user selects this menu item, CommonLook PDF checks the document for Section 508 compliance and displays a list of identified compliance issues within the Logical Structure Editor. Compliance Issues can be either failures or items that require user attention.

Streamlined Remediation

As the user goes though each of the automatically identified issues, CommonLook PDF assists by displaying information and performing verification or remediation actions that are relevant to the corresponding Section 508 checkpoint. As each issue is addressed, CommonLook PDF removes it from the list.

Synchronized Logical Structure Checking

The user can navigate the document structure while simultaneously viewing the corresponding elements in the physical view. This structure navigation can be done automatically or one element at a time.

Streamlined Table Verification and Remediation

The user can select a table in the Logical Structure Editor and activate the table checkpoint window which provides various tools to verify and remediate tables.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved activation issue for clients switching between wireless and wired network connections.
  • Fixed wording in the Script checkpoint.
  • Resolved issue in footer artifacts.
  • Added the ability to convert tags into artifacts and vice versa.
  • No need to click “Apply” in the properties panel. New value is applied as soon as the user “tabs out” of the field.
