Subject: [WebAIM] PDF Form issue

Hi all,

I am having a problem with a PDF Form I am working on. It has been tagged and all tooltips have been added. The tag structure of each form field is the same. However, JAWS and NVDA read some of the form fields perfectly, and other fields JAWS and NVDA do not recognize as fields or read the tooltips. I am usually pretty decent with PDF forms, and I have never had this before. The PDF passes the Adobe check and the relevant CommonLook checks.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening? Thanks,

Joseph
