An accessible form is one that a wide
range of people can use, including those who may have disabilities
that affect how they are able to interact with the form on the computer
screen. For example, the form user may have a visual impairment
or reduced mobility.
Designer includes a number of features and capabilities that
enhance the usability of forms for users with a range of disabilities,
and that assist form authors in creating PDF forms that are more
accessible to people with disabilities.
Designer
provides support for creating accessible HTML (AHTML) files using
Forms and tagged PDF forms. Tagged PDF forms include a complete
logical structure plus additional information about a document’s
contents that substantially increases accessibility.
When creating accessible forms, you need to consider whether
the form is intended for interactive filling by end users or whether
the form is intended for viewing and printing purposes only.
You can also import existing accessible PDF files as the basis
for your form. For more information, see
Importing tagged PDF files
