Accessibility: Problems with form fields

[Wolfgang Reckel]

01_Einzel-Lieferantenerklärung_DIHK-barrierefrei_Juli 2026.pdf

When you open the attached PDF and check the accessibility, the form fields are not compliant.

Does assigning the "Form" structure type in the Reading Order tool automatically create the required OBJR (Object Reference) linking the widget annotation to the document structure, or is an additional step required?

While examining the tag tree, I noticed that some Form tags contain an MCID (for example "21: Path"), whereas others contain no content at all and therefore have no MCID. Nevertheless, the accessibility checker reports "Form Fields Tagging – Failed" for all form fields.

Is PDF-XChange Editor expected to create a Form tag containing an MCID, or should it instead create an OBJR reference to the widget annotation according to the PDF/UA specification?

How can I solve the problem?
