Electronic Information Technology (AEIT) Solutions, is pleased to announce that
the Florida Department of Business and Professional
Regulation (DBPR) has made an investment in CommonLook Section 508 for Adobe® Acrobat®

the technical standards cited in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended.

equal access to all Floridians. I am pleased to be working with NetCentric Technologies"
Said Lynn Furiato, "We are confident of that through the use of CommonLook we will make
it easier for all persons to access information in PDF format in our public domain
infrastructure."
The CommonLook PDF Section 508 for Adobe® Acrobat® product is a unique solution that
will be used by agency personnel in order to correct accessibility problems and test
PDF documents for compliance with Section 508. It is the definitive Section
508 compliance technology for PDF accessibility available in the market today.
CommonLook PDF compliance technology is a major step in helping achieve the objectives of
federal and state governments, educational institutions and corporations in providing people
with disabilities with equal access to electronic information.
