Equidox PDF remediation software now supports fillable PDF forms.
Our proprietary software has simplified forms remediation.
Equidox automatically builds the digital tags
for fillable PDF forms,
and any existing tags are preserved upon import.
Equidox allows you to easily tag headings in your document
using keyboard shortcuts.

You can quickly add alt text for images.

Then you can quickly add your ToolTips for each form field.
Because of the shortcut keys used with screen readers
and connected braille displays,
assistive technology users can only fill out
PDF forms using Edit mode.
Edit mode doesn't read the tag field
descriptions of the document,
only the digital tags for ToolTips,
so be very clear when you're creating your ToolTips.
Include instructions about what the user
should fill in the field
and any formatting they need to know.
For example, checkboxes should explain the choices.
You can copy and paste and edit repetitive language.
[music]
ToolTips for dropdown fields
should clearly summarize the options in the list.
Radio buttons should also explain the choices.
[music]
Remember, only the ToolTips
are read to assistive technology users in Edit mode,
so you need to fully explain what's needed for each field
and any formatting requirements.
[music]
Date fields should specify the format
in which the date must be entered.

Once your ToolTips are entered,
you can correct the reading order.
For most documents,
our Re-Order button does the job quickly and easily.
Reading order for forms can become quite complex,
but Equidox’s decimal system for reading order
makes correcting this fast and easy.
[music]
An HTML preview shows the fields in the correct order
with the descriptions preceding the form fields.
[music]
Our Fixed Form Preview shows
the ToolTips associated with each field.

After exporting your remediated fillable PDF form,
validating your form using an accessibility checker
will pass all but the necessary manual checks.
