Good morning;
Did you get a response to your request?
If you send me an example of one of the forms, I can send you a recording of how it is read using Jaws and nvda.

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessible PDFs with read only form fields

Hi All,

We are generating PDFs through PDFreactor from HTML source files.
We are having accessible forms in HTML and when they convert to PDFs in read only format, we are not sure what should be the expected behaviour with screen readers on PDF read only forms. We are seeing the Form tags generated in the PDFs but we want to cross check how a normal accessible PDF read only forms are announced with the Screen readers.

Appreciate if someone could share with me the read only PDFs with form fields in it like the radio buttons(checked or unchecked), Checkbox(checked or unchecked), read only edit boxes etc.

Thanks in advance!

Sudheer.
