Accessibility issue - AEM generating faulty tags

Avatar

Level 2

We use desktop version 6.5.17.

I have attached three files to this post:

Test 1: File > Form Properties > Save Options > Generate Accessibility Information (Tags) for Acrobat checked

Test 2: File > Form Properties > Save Options > Generate Accessibility Information (Tags) for Acrobat unchecked

When opening Test 1 in Acrobat and applying Read Out Loud, the text before and including the link in bullet 2 is omitted - only "to understand your responsibilities" is read. Otherwise, the reader follows the tab order set in AEM.

When opening Test 2 in Acrobat, the Popup "Prepare document for screen reader" appears. The full text is read, however, the tab order set in AEM is ignored, and the reader proceeds in a top>bottom, left>right mode.

Test1 tags: Image displaying that the text "Before you fill out this form, read What Is Proof of Service? (form APP-109-INFO" is not tagged.

Why does AEM generate faulty tags? As you know, it is NOT possible to modify an XFA form in Acrobat.
