Accessibility is hard enough – let’s make it simple

When it comes to creating accessible PDFs in InDesign, ally InClusive is your guide, your assistant, and – well – your ally. It’s here to help in three ways:

  • A checklist to walk you through the process
  • Shortcuts to the tools you need, when you need them
  • Specialized tools to make things easier

And the best thing: It’s free. You’re welcome!

Checklists & Shortcuts

ally inClusive guides you through the process, giving you quick access to everything you need exactly when you need it.

  • Shortcuts to all panels and dialogs you need – don’t waste your time searching through that window menu.
  • A built-in manual that provides explanations and background information, ready to open at the exact step you’re on.
  • A checklist you can actually check off after finishing each step, helping you keep track of your progress along the way.

Tools & Helpers

Many helpful tools right at your fingertips:

  • An easy metadata editor so you don’t need to open another modal window.
  • Search for issues like tables without headers or content not in any article. You can even search for URLs, emails or similar.
  • Color contrast checker so you don’t even have to leave InDesign and can use your existing swatches.

Two panels from the plugin: The headline panel showing a hierarchy of headlines with some errors highlighted. The alternative texts panel showing one item marked as artifact and two items with a preview thumbnail and a textfield with entered alt-texts.

Extra Panels

The panels InDesign forgot – but you need!

  • Alt text panel: Get an overview and edit all alt texts at once without opening a single modal dialog. You can even mark items as artifacts with a simple checkbox.
  • Headings panel: Verify your heading structure in the Article Order or Standard Reading Order. Get help finding structural errors.
