Editing Forms Accessibility in Adobe Acrobat (section)

== Form field alternate text ==

Each form field must have alternate text that accurately describes the data to be collected by the field. 

* '''Tools pane''' > '''Forms''' > '''Edit'''
* Form fields can be selected either in the document content area, or under the '''Fields tab'''.
* With a field selected: '''right click''' > '''Properties''' (Ctrl+i)
** '''Name''' is the label of the field. If a tooltip value is provided, this can be a code containing abbreviations, underscores and/or numbers that wouldn't necessarily make sense if it were read out loud. The Name field can contain spaces and special characters.
** '''Tooltip''', if provided, is the text that is read out loud for the form field. As such the tooltip value should be easily understood. If a tooltip value is not provided, a screen reader would typically fall back on the Name value.
