<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have been creating a number of Fillable PDF forms here at the university. The forms are 100% accessible on the PC side using JAWS for Windows 2018, NVDA, and ZoomText Fusion 2018. When I try working with the same PDF forms using a MacBook
with the High Sierra operating system and VoiceOver, I am not able to access any radio buttons or signature fields. All other edit fields and checkboxes are accessible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The forms were created using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2018.001.2040. An accessibility check was ran on each form as well as proper labels and annotations for tags.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would be very grateful for any help in learning how to fix and avoid this issue in the future.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for all your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
