Allyant Announces the Launch of its AI-Powered PDF Remediation Software

Allyant

Allyant, the leader in accessible document, digital, and print communications solutions announced the expansion of its widely used CommonLook PDF remediation software, now available as an AI-driven, web-based solution. Powerful AI-driven auto tagging accelerates accessibility for users of every skillset. Additionally, this release includes the option of using a simplified editor or advanced editor, supporting users of every skillset and PDFs of varying complexity.

“This expansion marks a pivotal moment in our mission to make digital accessibility scalable for organizations of all sizes,” said Ariel Kunar, Allyant’s Chief Executive Officer. “By leveraging the power of AI to accelerate progress and giving users the option of a simplified or advanced editing path, we’re breaking down barriers to achieve accessibility.”

Inaccessible PDFs remain one of the most widespread barriers to digital content, and PDF accessibility is one of the most pervasive problems for organizations to solve. There are trillions of PDFs online and more than 90% are estimated to have accessibility issues.

Allyant’s CommonLook PDF software helps meet this massive and growing need. The latest software release builds on more than two decades of market-leading innovation, delivering the same trusted capabilities of the legacy software, now with a streamlined interface and AI-powered advanced automation using predictive machine learning detection to automatically tag documents. This release makes high-quality PDF remediation more accessible to non-technical users and large teams alike.

For those familiar with the legacy CommonLook PDF software, this release also offers greater access to more users. Previously available only as desktop software, CommonLook PDF can now also be accessed via the web, from any browser on any operating system—including MacOS.

“This is more than a product expansion—it’s a game-changing step forward for digital inclusion,” said Ferass Elrayes, Allyant’s Chief Technology Officer. “By bringing our powerful tools to more users, we’re meeting organizations where they are—equipping them to meet impending compliance deadlines and create PDF content that is accessible for all.”

There is a renewed and urgent need for organizations to ensure their PDFs are accessible. The Department of Justice released rulemaking for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with specific requirements for U.S. state and local government entities to make their digital communications—including PDFs— accessible, with 2026 and 2027 deadlines looming. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) also requires PDF accessibility, and it applies to any company located anywhere that serves customers in the European Union.

AI-driven CommonLook PDF will help organizations more quickly scale their practices to create PDFs that meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), PDF/UA, and HHS standards to comply with these global requirements. And each PDF remediated using CommonLook PDF comes with a unique Validation Report demonstrating that document’s state of compliance.
