Subject: [WebAIM] Form tags and specs in PDF's
Hello all,
I'm looking for some guidance remediating PDF forms. I'm using Acrobat Pro and I thought I was doing a pretty good job, but I recently tried CommonLook PDF Validator and I'm seeing a lot of failures and warnings, some of which I don't understand. For example, I'm getting a lot of warnings described as "no label text associated with this form field" but all of the identified form fields are named and have tooltips. (They also pass the Acrobat Accessibility Checker.)
Am I missing something? I try to put the form tags right after the associated <P> tag. Is that incorrect?
Here's an image of my tags panel:

I'm also getting a failure for: "2 radio buttons share the same variable name --- and hence would have the same tooltip (TU key)" Aren't radio buttons in a group supposed to have the same name and tooltip, just different radio button choices (under Options)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
