How to make an accessible PDF form

A form is useless if a screen-reader user cannot tell what each field wants. Accessible forms label every field and order them logically.

Label every field

Each field needs a programmatic label — a tooltip or associated text — so the reader announces "Email address, edit" rather than "edit".

Logical tab order

Set the tab order to follow the visual flow so keyboard users move through the form naturally.

Group related fields

Group radio buttons and checkboxes so their shared question is announced with each option.
