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.)
