Screen readable PDF forms

We're rebuilding a series of PDF forms for some departments on campus, and I'm about at the end of my rope.

We have a matrix of radio buttons that will not remain in the correct reading order no matter what I do. It's laid out on top of a table (originally developed in MSWord). JAWS and NVDA render my tooltips only some of the time.

Anyone have a rock-solid method for creating complex forms in PDF (other formats are not an option, thanks) that read sequentially, and can tolerate a minor revision without falling completely apart?

Thanks,
Todd
