CommonLook® Section 508 for Adobe® Acrobat® Release 4.0
Release 4.0 of CommonLook is a major product release intended to streamline and simplify the process of Section 508 verification and remediation. The 4.0 release incorporates a number of enhancements, including many that have been proposed by CommonLook 3.x users, as well as a number of bug fixes.
Automatic Verification
A new menu item ("Verify and Remediate") has been added to the main CommonLook plug-in menu. When a user selects this menu item, CommonLook 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 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 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
The following software issues have been corrected in release 4.0.
- 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.
