Has anyone had experience with screen readers and editable pdf forms ?
We created an editable pdf form for our private site and couldn't
make it accessible. No matter what I did to make it accessible, and
added appropriate tags. Both LCDesigner and Adobe Acrobat Professional
said that not tagged.
JAWS could not read it.
We are starting work on an editable pdf form for the public site.
Thank you
Nancy

Is it static or dynamic form?
Did you run JAWS first, then open the form, or the other way around? Dynamic forms create the accessibility data when there is an accessibility information-consuming client in use, so if you load JAWS after the form, there might not be any accessibility data to read.
Thanks,

Further to Andrew's post - You should always have the adaptive technology
running first since the scripts/set files tools of the adaptive technology
are initialized for the opening application and starting AT after you launch
an application affects its ability to find content even accessible content.
Cheers, Karen

Dynamic forms create the accessibility data when there is an accessibility
information-consuming client in use, so if you load JAWS after the form,
there might not be any accessibility data to read.

For the Internal Form: It is a Dynamic Form, XML, database driven.
It is downloadable to the desktop with a sync option with user login.
I ran JAWs first then opened the form. I could not share it at this
point because it is internal only.
This public form will be dynamic, will not have a sync option but will
be xml, and the ability to integrate to the database on upload or
email attachment. Still in the planning stage.
I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble accessing this type of form.

Can you replicate the issue with a simple form that isn't DB-driven and share that?
Thanks,
