Hello Cindy,=20

For accessible forms, I would think of (AcroForms) using Adobe Acrobat Pro =
and (XFA forms) using Adobe LiveCycle .=20

Last Wednesday, I attended a seminar on accessible PDF forms in which both =
softwares where mentioned for creation of WCAG 2.0 AA compliant forms.=20

Subject: [WebAIM] accessible forms

Greetings (apologies for cross posting)

We are moving to a new website and are using Wufoo for forms, (forms such
as admissions forms that students complete online and submit back to the
school) however I have found these to be inaccessible (when an error is
made, a message pops up asking the user to redo the parts highlighted
below. Of course, someone who is blind cannot see what is highlight
below)

When I point out this problem I was told "everyone on the planet" uses
woofoo for forms. Do you know of other companies who support forms that
are fully accessible?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
