    <p>Bevi's detailed response covers most questions raised - and more.
      I would add a small clarification to the thread about AxesPDF
      QuckFix along with a couple additional notes about software
      offerings.</p>

    <p>While AxesPDF Quick Fix does not require Acrobat Professional, it
      is not intended as a replacement for all the PDF editing
      capabilities of Acrobat Professional. It makes "remediating" PDFs
      easier: it performs some fixes very quickly - often with one click
      of a button. And it provides a better interface for editing tag
      properties than Acrobat does. But if you are trying to edit a
      poorly built PDF to make it accessible, then you will find that
      there are some essential functions that still require Acrobat
      Professional. A couple critical examples include: inserting new
      tags, changing the order of tags, or changing the level of nested
      tags.</p>
    <p>So yes, CommonLook PDF is installed as a plug-in to Acrobat
      Professional, so you will need Acrobat even to install it. But
      realistically, you will find that you need Acrobat Professional to
      use alongside AxesPDF QuickFix as well even though axesPDF
      QuickFix installs as a stand-alone program.</p>

      I have used AxesPDF extensively and am happy with it, but I don't
      doubt Bevi's asssessment of it as compared to CommonLook PDF. I
      would note, however, that the pricing of CommonLook can be
      difficult to discover (no prices are listed on their website) and
      that if you are not a non-profit or government agency, their
      pricing is prohibitively expensive in some cases. In my case, the
      annual price of CommonLook PDF quoted to me was quite literally
      more than 10 times the published price of a license for AxesPDF
      QuickFix.</p>

    <p>Lastly, while not necessarily the right choice for many, there
      are Microsoft Word add-ins from each of the two companies listed
      above. With the right training, and with the right templates, each
      of these add-ins can make it possible to generate fully
      accessible, PDF/UA compliant PDFs directly from Microsoft Word,
      without needing Acrobat Professional. Bevi notes that Microsoft
      Word can create a generally accessible PDF from a basic file.
      These add-ins improve the output from a Word file to make it more
      fully comply with the current standards. Though both of these
      add-ins cost about the same as a license for Microsoft Office
      itself.<br>
