The last time I tested this - about 6 months ago I got the following results.

VO + Mac OS + Adobe Reader = Docs fine, Form Filling No
VO + Mac OS + Mac's PDF reader = Nothing
Mac OS + Adobe Reader using Read Out Loud Feature = Poor Performance and No Forms Support
VO + iOS + Adobe Reader = Docs fie, Form Filling No
VO + Mac OS + Mac's PDF reader = Nothing

I did not test any other combination. We were looking for support for forms at the time and found that when using Apple devices that about the only functional option is a native app or html.
