Folks,

When using a screenreader i can not navigate inside a pdf form field and edit it. It just doesnt work. When i deactivate the screen reader everything works fine.

When i klick inside a pdf form field to force a edit and try to fill out the form i get one of the following messages depending on which button i pressed:

no next block quote
no next combo box
Not supported in this document
no next form field


Does anyone have a clean snipped of a pdf form that also works while using a screen reader?

I have attached the pdf we generate on page 3/7 datum and name should be editable.

Here is also a small snipped how we currently implement the input fields:

<!-- Signature section -->
<section aria-label="Unterschriftsbereich">
  <p>
    <label for="sig_date">Datum</label>
    <input type="date" id="sig_date" title="Datum" />
  </p>

  <p>
    <label for="sig_signature">
      Unterschrift der:des Kundin:Kunden oder der für sie:ihn zur Vertretung befugten Person
    </label>
    <input
      type="text"
      id="sig_signature"
      title="Unterschrift der:des Kundin:Kunden oder der für sie:ihn zur Vertretung befugten Person"
    />
  </p>

  <p>
    <label for="sig_name">
      Name der unterschreibenden Person in BLOCKBUCHSTABEN
    </label>
    <input
      type="text"
      id="sig_name"
      title="Name der unterschreibenden Person in BLOCKBUCHSTABEN"
    />
  </p>
</section>

What I already tried is using only one form for the whole document and using fieldset instead, but that didn't work either.

We use prince 16 and nvda as a screen reader if that helps.

Thank you in advance

Let me know if you need anything else

Friendship,
Valentin
