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

5 Lesser-Known Facts About Debt Management Plans
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When faced with mounting credit card debt, many Americans assume their only options are drastic: debt settlement, bankruptcy or simply ignoring the problem. But there's another path that's often overlooked — one that offers structure, support and less impact to your credit. A Debt Management Plan (DMP) could be the financial lifeline that makes it possible to tackle debt with confidence, clarity and consistent progress. 'Debt Management Plans are one of the best-kept secrets in the world of debt relief,' said Manuel Salazar, chief executive officer at Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. 'They're designed to help consumers regain control of their finances without the long-term financial damage that can come with other strategies.' Salazar sheds light on five need-to-know facts about DMPs: They don't wreck your credit. Unlike bankruptcy or debt settlement often does, enrolling in a DMP won't tank your credit score. In fact, making consistent, on-time payments through a DMP can actually improve your score over time. You get free, ongoing financial guidance. A DMP is more than just a payment plan. Consumers receive personalized budgets, one-on-one support and ongoing guidance to build better long-term financial habits throughout the plan. They require one simple monthly payment. DMPs consolidate multiple credit card payments into a single monthly payment, with no new loan required. Your credit counseling agency works directly with your creditors, distributing payments on your behalf and removing the burden of managing multiple bills. Collection calls stop. Once you're enrolled in a DMP and creditors begin receiving regular payments, those stressful collection calls and letters typically come to a halt — giving you some welcomed breathing room. They're only available through nonprofits. Nonprofit credit counseling agencies are the only organizations that offer DMPs, which means the guidance and support you receive will always be focused on your best interests instead of profit margins. 'People often wait until they feel completely overwhelmed to ask for help,' Salazar said. 'But it's important to know you don't have to hit rock bottom. A DMP can be a proactive, empowering step toward financial freedom.' To start your path toward a debt-free future, work with experts to create a personalized DMP. About Take Charge America, Inc. Founded in 1987, Take Charge America, Inc. is a nonprofit agency offering financial education and counseling services including credit counseling, debt management, housing counseling and bankruptcy counseling. It has helped more than 2 million consumers nationwide manage their personal finances and debts. Learn more at or call (888) 822-9193.
