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.

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.
