Hi
Can you share the steps by which do you want to create a PDF/UA file?
Acrobat already has an option to fix tagging issues in the PDF to make it PDF/UA compliant using Tools > Preflight.Thanks

Hi,
I checked the issues after your response.For point 2, the behaviour is as designed. It seems that the user have to select the option as the default selected item is the last added item in RHP and if no addition is done, then none of the option is selected. Further, I’m not able to hear “AV container View” with controls. I’ve informed the engineering team regarding this.
For point 3, I have raised the issues with engineering team and hopefully it will be fixed in future release.
Thanks

Hi Joel,
We are always working to make it a better of experience for our accessibility customers.
We’ll be adding the support of Undo/Redo in order panels and Reading Order Tool in our coming releases.
Can you please tell me why you need the Tags Panel and Reading Order to be merged.Thanks

Even with the Accessibility wizard, Acrobat's accessibility tools are tedious to use, difficult and time-consuming to learn, and often unforgiving of mistakes.
Any steps not doable pre-emptively in InDesign or Word are intimidating and convoluted for beginners to fix.
- Many clients and stakeholders don't want to pay for the extra time accessibility steps currently take.
- Many businesses don't have the time or resources to teach Acrobat's accessibility tools to all their staff, pay subscriptions for expensive third-party tools, or hire external contractors.
- Many freelancers don't have time or resources either.
This learning curve dumps the burden for making everyone else's documents accessible, on the few staff and contractors that already understand its value – like designers, content creators, developers and accessibility experts. This is of course assuming we can convince management to invest in it at all – and not just dump it in the "too hard" pile.
I've also made a detailed suggestion to "Acrobat online / document cloud" to add a more user-friendly accessibility process to its online tools:
Please read and vote, to get this on their radar!

Raja: If that form is intended to be sent via the internet – an online form would be a far more sensical use of your time, (for multiple reasons).
1. You could recreate that PDF as an accessible online form – from scratch – in a fraction of the time it would take to make that 8-page PDF form ADA compliant.
2. PDF Forms are a nightmare to make and edit (in any software).
3. PDFs are a nightmare to make accessible (in any software).
I haven't even *tried* to make an accessible PDF Form (...for the above reasons, and because I don't hate myself enough).
Looking around, that doesn't appear likely to change.
- Adobe appears to be going all-in on making the Reader mobile app's "Liquid Mode" an (eventual) cure-all for the sea of innaccessable PDFs that already exist.
- Meanwhile, neither Acrobat's OR InDesign's accessibility tools have seen significant updates in *a very long time.*
Make of that what you will.
In the meantime, I'm not sure where we invest our time now.
I don't know what kind of resources you have access to in your role (or the scope of your requirements). But if the answer is "not much" – I believe Google Forms is designed to be accessible by default, and would be far easier to manage.
If your employer has the resources, I'd make the case for a software package that handles applications
If you've already tried to talk your employer out of using PDF forms (to no avail), I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't fix your PDF for you.
I've sunk *solid years* of my life into *accessible PDFs alone* – and I feel barely any more confident than when I started.
I'm tired, I'm broke, I'm burned out. I have nothing left.
Adobe finished me off.
All I want to do now is make EPUBs in some open-source word processor.
All I have left to say is:
*Run, Raja. Run as far as you can.*
*This is the place where hope dies.*
I wish you the best.
